Quick and Easy Pan Fried Corn Fritters

Instructions

1. Prepare the Corn: Drain the canned corn thoroughly in a colander. Press down gently to remove any excess liquid. This is key for getting crispy fritters!

2. Make the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Add the beaten eggs, milk, and lime juice. Stir until just combined.

3. Add Mix-Ins: Gently fold in the drained corn, cilantro, green onions, diced jalapeño, and shredded cheese. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated. The batter will be thick and chunky.

4. Pan-Fry: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, drop heaping tablespoonfuls of batter into the pan, gently pressing down to form small rounds. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

5. Cook Until Golden: Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until deeply golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully with a spatula.

6. Drain and Serve: Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces. Enjoy
