Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cup fresh corn kernels cut from cobs or thawed frozen
  • 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 cup fine cornmeal
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 0.75 tsp kosher salt plus more to finish
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 0.5 tsp smoked paprika or sweet paprika
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 cup buttermilk or whole milk
  • 2 egg eggs, lightly beaten
  • 0.5 cup thinly sliced scallions green and white parts
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
  • 0.5 cup shredded sharp cheddar optional
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil for frying, more as needed

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Whisk flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in a large bowl.
  • Beat eggs with buttermilk in a measuring cup until smooth.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until a thick batter forms.
  • Fold in corn, scallions, herbs, and cheddar if using. Do not overmix.
  • Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the pan, flatten gently, and cook 2–3 minutes per side until deep golden.
  • Transfer fritters to a paper towel–lined plate and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
  • Serve hot with sour cream, hot honey, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Variation: Stir in a minced jalapeño or swap cheddar for pepper jack. For a lighter batch, pan-fry in a nonstick skillet with just a thin film of oil. Leftovers keep 2 days in the fridge; re-crisp in a 375°F oven or air fryer for 5–7 minutes.
