Servings: 8

Equipment
- frying pan
Ingredients
- 4 ears of sweet corn approximately 3 cups
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- 6 scallions finely sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped basil
- 1 cup shredded white sharp cheddar
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- kosher salt
- ground black pepper
- unsalted butter for frying
Instructions
- Slice the kernels off the corn and then reverse your knife and press out the milk.
- In a medium bowl, mix the corn and the milk with the eggs, scallions, herbs, cheese, flour, chili powder, and garlic powder until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
- Melt enough butter to cover the bottom of a frying pan generously.
- Divide the batter roughly into 8 and drop into the skillet. (I fried two at a time so they didn't get crowded.)
- Fry over medium heat until golden, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Using a wide spatula, turn them over and fry the other side until golden.
- Remove from pan and place fritters on a plate or platter and serve immediately.
