Crispy corn fritters with melted cheddar and a subtle kick, served with a sweet honey-lime dipping sauce.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups corn kernels, fresh, frozen and thawed, or canned and drained
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½–1 tsp The Heat Is On seasoning
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup milk
- ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil, plus more as needed
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp lime juice
Directions
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, The Heat Is On seasoning, and salt.
Add the egg and milk. Stir until a thick batter forms.
Fold in the corn kernels and shredded cheddar.
In a separate small bowl, combine the sour cream, honey, and lime juice. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of the corn mixture into the skillet for each fritter. Gently flatten with the back of a spoon.
Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil if needed.
Serve warm with the honey-lime dipping sauce.
