Servings 6 fritters

Prep Time 5 minutes mins

Cook Time 10 minutes mins

Total Time 15 minutes mins

Ingredients

• 340 g corn kernels (You can use fresh, canned, or frozen corn)
• 40 g Cornstarch
• 40 g flour (all-purpose/cake/bread flour all work)
• 70 g milk
• 1 tsp parsley
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp sugar
• unsalted Butter (for pan-frying)
• Shredded Cheese (to taste)

Instructions

• Prepare the Corn

  Start by pouring the corn kernels into a mixing bowl. If using canned corn, make sure to drain any excess liquid thoroughly to ensure the batter isn't too watery.
  
• Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients

  Add 60g of all-purpose flour, 40g of cornmeal, 1 tsp of salt, 1 tbsp of sugar, and 1 tbsp of dried parsley into the bowl. Pour in 70g of milk.
  
• Mix the Batter

  Stir all the ingredients until well combined. The batter should be thick enough to hold the corn kernels together.
  
• Heat the Pan

  Place a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add a knob of butter (approx. 20g) and allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
  
• Portion and Fry

  Scoop a large ladleful of batter (approximately 80g) and place it into the pan, flattening it slightly with a spatula. You can fry about three small fritters at a time. Fry for about 2 minutes over medium heat.
  
• Flip and Add Cheese

  After 2 minutes, flip the fritters over. Immediately sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on top of each fritter. Continue to fry for another 2 minutes.
  
• Cook Until Golden Brown

  Once both sides are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted beautifully, remove the fritters from the pan.
  
• Serve Immediately

  Your delicious Cheesy Corn Fritters are ready! Serve them while they are hot to enjoy the melty cheese and crispy corn texture.

Cooking & Storage Tips

• Corn Varieties: You don’t have to limit yourself to canned corn. Fresh corn kernels (cut off the cob) or thawed frozen corn work perfectly. Just remember to pat them dry.
• Size Matters: Making smaller fritters is highly recommended. They are much easier to flip without breaking and provide a better ratio of crispy edges to soft centers.
• Don’t Overmix: When mixing the batter, stir until just combined. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, making the fritters tough rather than light and tender.
• Cheese Choice: For the best “cheese pull,” use Mozzarella. For a sharper flavor, a mixture of Cheddar and Monterey Jack works amazingly well.
