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
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup vegetable oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir leeks until slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir beer, milk, butter, and egg together in a bowl. Whisk whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, black pepper, basil, and thyme into beer mixture until batter is smooth. Fold corn, Cheddar cheese, and leeks into batter.
  • Heat about 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Drop large spoonfuls batter into the hot oil and fry until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 2 more tablespoons oil to skillet and flip fritters; fry until other side is golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining batter and oil.
