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 added heat)

Vegetable oil for frying

Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetable Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained sweet corn, finely chopped green onions, and diced red bell pepper. Stir well until all the vegetables are evenly blended.

    Make the Dry Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper. Ensure all dry ingredients are thoroughly mixed for even flavor distribution.

      Blend Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the two eggs until frothy. Add the milk and whisk together until fully incorporated.

        Combine Ingredients: Gradually pour the egg and milk mixture into the dry ingredient mixture, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. It is acceptable for the batter to be slightly lumpy. Carefully fold in the sweet corn and vegetable mixture until well-coated.

          Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or frying pan, pour in enough vegetable oil to measure about 1/4 inch deep. Heat the oil over medium heat until it shimmers but does not smoke. To test readiness, drop a small spoonful of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and float to the top.

            Fry the Fritters: Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter and gently drop it into the hot oil. If needed, flatten the fritters slightly with the back of a spatula. Fry each fritter for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and become crispy. Be sure to work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

              Drain and Season: Once the fritters are cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle lightly with salt for extra flavor.

                Garnish and Serve: Serve the fritters warm, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro for a pop of color. They are delightful with a dollop of sour cream, creamy Greek yogurt, or a zesty dipping sauce to enhance their flavor.
