Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 ears corn, cooked (or 1 cup/250 mL frozen corn kernels, thawed and drained)
1/4 cup fine cornmeal
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 pinch baking soda
3/4 cup cheddar cheese, grated
2 green onions, chopped
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

Carefully slice corn kernels from leftover cobs and set aside. Then, in a medium bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, salt and baking soda. Add cheddar cheese and stir, then mix in corn niblets and green onion. In a separate small bowl, combine egg and milk, and whisk until frothy. Add to corn mixture and combine well.
Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. To form patties, scoop batter 1/3 cup (75 mL) at a time and place in hot pan (a dry measure or ice cream scoop works well). Flatten patties slightly with the back of a large spoon; each should be about the size of a hamburger. Fry 5 to 6 minutes, turning halfway through cooking time, until patties are golden brown on both sides.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: Fresh corn and leeks will give your fritters the best flavor.
Grate the corn kernels: This will help them stick together and make the fritters more cohesive.
Use a sharp knife to chop the leeks: This will prevent them from becoming stringy.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the fritters tough.
Cook the fritters over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
Serve the fritters hot: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.

Cheesy corn and leek fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for a party or potluck, and they can also be served as a main course with a salad. These fritters are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
