Seasoning is a crucial aspect of cooking, especially when it comes to achieving the perfect balance of flavors. For Cheesy Corn Fritters, salt and pepper serve as essential ingredients, enhancing the natural sweetness of the corn and the richness of the cheeses. A pinch of salt not only elevates the overall taste but also helps to bring out the flavors of the other ingredients. Black pepper adds a hint of warmth and depth, making these fritters irresistible. Always remember to taste your mixture before frying; adjusting seasoning at this stage ensures each bite is flavorful.

Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 large eggs

1/4 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Oil for frying

Instructions
 

Prep the Corn: If using fresh corn, cut it off the cob. If using frozen corn, thaw and drain well.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.

      Add Cheeses: Fold in the shredded cheddar and grated Parmesan cheese into the dry mixture.

        Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

          Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix. Gently fold in the corn and chopped parsley, if using.

            Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of oil over medium heat until shimmering (approximately 350°F or 175°C).

              Fry Fritters: Using a tablespoon, scoop the batter and carefully drop it into the hot oil, flattening slightly with the back of the spoon. Fry in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

                Cook Until Golden: Fry each fritter for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

                  Serve: Enjoy hot with your favorite dipping sauce, like sriracha aioli or a squeeze of lime!
