I got thus recipe from a friend. I was beyond excited to fix these for my late husband and wasted no time getting in the kitchen to whip up a batch of serperb fritters. As soon as the corn fritters were cool enough to eat, they were practically inhaled. This was love at first bite. Seriously. Sweet, delicate corn in a light, fluffy batter flavoured with mature cheddar and spicy jalapeños. Heaven, right? My friends dubbed this “one of the most delicious things you’ve ever cooked”.
These jalapeño corn fritters make the perfect summer snack with drinks (save this one for the next time your hosting someone for a sports game and helllooooo perfect Superbowl snack and can be made in mini sizes and served with a sweet dipping sauce as a delighful canapé. However you make them and for whatever reason, these will definitely be a hit and you will be praised by your friends and family.
Ingredients
6 ears of corn roasted/grilled and kernels cut off the cob
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1.5 cups milk
1 egg
1 cup grated mature cheddar
1-2 jalapeños finely chopped
vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and smoked paprika.
In a measuring jug/bowl, whisk together the milk and egg.
Slowly mix the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until the batter is smooth.
Stir in the corn kernels, cheese and jalapeños.
Heat enough oil to deep-fry the fritters in a large pot then drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the sizzling oil.
Fry until golden brown and cooked through then remove and drain on kitchen paper.
Repeat until all the batter has been fried.
Serve with lemon wedges.
It's a bomb even if someone in my house doesn't like corn...
