Cheesy Corn and Leek Fritters image

This recipe is so easy and so delicious. I played around with fritter recipes until I came to the conclusion that they would taste much better with Cheddar cheese and beer in the batter.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed
2 leeks, chopped
½ cup beer
¼ cup milk
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
½ cup whole wheat flour
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon white sugar
ground black pepper, to taste
1 pinch dried basil, or to taste
1 pinch dried thyme, or to taste
1 (12 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained

CHEESY CORN FRITTERS

Leftover corn on the cob gets a starring role in these kid-pleasing, main-course dinner patties. Serve on whole wheat buns loaded with tomato slices and lettuce, or place on a bed of lightly dressed mixed greens and drizzle with salsa. From Today's Parent.

Categories     Corn

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

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:

  • Fresh Corn is Best: If you can get your hands on fresh corn, use it for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make the fritters tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a Hot Pan: Make sure the pan is hot before adding the fritter batter. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Don't Crowd the Pan: Don't overcrowd the pan with fritters. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Serve Hot: Cheesy corn fritters are best served hot out of the pan. You can also reheat them in the oven or air fryer.

Conclusion:

Cheesy corn fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for potlucks, parties, or a quick snack. With their crispy exterior and cheesy, corn-filled interior, these fritters are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
