🧾 Ingredients
- 1 can of sweet corn (drained)
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- All-purpose flour (enough to bind the batter)
- Chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley or cilantro)
- Shredded cheese of your choice (mozzarella, cheddar, or Parmesan work well)
- Oil for deep frying
👩‍🍳 Instructions
1. Blend the Corn:
Place the sweet corn in a blender with a splash of water. Blend until slightly smooth but still textured—don’t over-purée.
2. Prepare the Batter:
In a mixing bowl, combine the blended corn with enough all-purpose flour to form a thick batter.
Add baking powder, salt, chopped herbs, and shredded cheese. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and the batter holds together.
3. Shape the Fritters:
With your hands or a spoon, scoop small portions of the batter and shape into small balls or patties.
4. Fry to Golden Perfection:
Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.
Fry the corn fritters in batches, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy.
Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
