How to Make Corn Fritters
Step 1: Add cilantro corn green onion jalapeno and lime juice to a large bowl and mix together until combined. After the ingredients are combined, set them aside for later.
Step 2: Using a small bowl, then you’ll need to whisk together the flour baking powder salt black pepper and chili powder. Add dry ingredients to the corn mixture and combine well.
Step 3: Carefully fold in the eggs milk, and mix until combined.
Step 4: Begin warming the olive oil in a pan over medium heat until it is hot. It is important not to cook the corn fritters until the pan is hot so that way they have a golden crispy crust on the outside.
Step 5: Next take a medium sized ice cream scooper and scoop the corn mixture into the pan to start cooking the fritters.
Step 6: Take a spatula and lightly press down on each one of the fritters to flatten them out.
Step 7: You will need to cook each corn Fritter for 3 to 5 minutes on each side before flipping it over.
Step 8: Once both sides of the fritters have been cooked, you can remove them from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined play to allow the excess grease to drip off.
Step 9: After all of the fritters have been made, sprinkle them with salt and pepper and drizzle a little bit of freshly squeezed lime juice over the top of them.
Step 10: Add your favorite toppings and enjoy warm!
