Ingredients
  

2 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup cornmeal

1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese (optional)

2 large eggs

1/4 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

1/4 cup chopped green onions

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions
 

Prepare the Corn: If you are using fresh corn, shuck the corn and remove the kernels from the cobs using a sharp knife. If using frozen corn, make sure it's thawed and drained.

    Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Whisk together until fully combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until smooth. Add the sweet corn kernels, grated cheddar cheese (if using), green onions, and cilantro. Stir until combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay. The batter should be thick but scoopable.

          Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of batter into it. If it sizzles and bubbles around the edges, the oil is hot enough.

            Fry the Fritters: Using a heaping tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Flatten each fritter slightly with the back of a spatula. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

              Drain and Serve: Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess oil. Repeat until all the batter is used.

                Serve Warm: Enjoy the golden sweet corn fritter cakes warm, and serve with your favorite dipping sauce, like aioli or spicy salsa.
