    Why you'll love these corn fritters

     These corn fritters check all the boxes—crispy edges, tender centers, and just the right amount of natural sweetness from fresh summer corn.

    This is a perfect recipe for using up all that fresh corn you might pick up from the summer farmer's market.

    Corn is so cheap in the summer because it is in abundance so this is a wallet friendly recipe too!

    You can also use drained canned corn if you don't have fresh but for me, there is no beating a sweet summer corn.

    How to make corn fritters

    Simply stir all the ingredients together in a bowl.

    Heat some oil and pan fry them. That's it!

    What makes this recipe different

    The biggest difference between my recipe for corn fritters and others, is that I am using tangy goat cheese in mine.

    Prep Time 5 minutes mins
    Total Time 5 minutes mins

    Ingredients
      

    • 2.5 C Corn fresh off the cob
    • 1 C Grated Zucchini
    • 2 Garlic cloves minced
    • 2 Scallions chopped
    • 2 Eggs
    • ½ C Milk
    • 4 oz Goat Cheese softened
    • Salt
    • Black Pepper
    • 1 C Flour all-purpose
    • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
    • Olive Oil
    • ¼ C Honey
    • ½ teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper more or less to suit your taste, or leave out the red pepper altogether if you desire

    Instructions
     

    • In a small bowl, stir crushed red pepper into honey. Set aside.
    • In a large bowl, stir together corn, zucchini, garlic, scallions and egg and cheese. Season liberally with salt and pepper.
    • In a small bowl stir together flour and baking powder.
    • Stir flour mixture into wet mixture and then slowly stir in the milk. Batter should have the same consistency as a pancake batter.
    • Heat a large skillet over medium/high heat with just enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Once pan is heated, reduce heat to medium.
    • Using a large spoon, scoop batter into hot oil. Cook 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
    • Remove from pan and place on a paper towel lined plate to help rid excess oil. Sprinkle with a little bit of salt.
    • Serve warm.
    • If desired, drizzle or dip into honey mixture.

      I tried your fritters at the Farmer's Market and they were beyond delicious! I'm glad you made them despite your foodie doppelganger also having made them. I didn't even know what a fritter was before yours! You have my whole family hooked. 🙂
