Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh or frozen sweet corn, drained

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cornmeal

1/2 cup milk

2 large eggs

1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped

1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely diced

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

Vegetable oil for frying

Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixing Bowl: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn, green onions, and red bell pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

    Make the Batter: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, mixing until fully combined.

      Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps. Gently fold in the corn and vegetable mixture.

        Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking. You can test the oil by dropping a small spoonful of the batter in – it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

          Fry the Cakes: Using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop the batter and carefully drop it into the hot oil. Flatten slightly with the back of a spatula if necessary. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches, being sure not to overcrowd the pan.

            Drain and Serve: Once cooked, remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt while still hot.

              Garnish and Enjoy: Serve the fritters warm, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro. They pair wonderfully with a dollop of sour cream, Greek yogurt, or a spicy dipping sauce.
