Method

Method

  1. 1

    Prepare dry ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal (if using), baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Whisk wet ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and milk until smooth; whisk in the melted butter or oil.

  3. 3

    Combine batter with mix-ins

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients; stir just until combined. Fold in the corn kernels, onion, and green onions. If using cheese, fold in cheddar cheese.

  4. 4

    Rest batter

    Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to hydrate the flour and allow flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Fry fritters

    Heat a thin film of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop batter by heaping 2-tablespoon portions, flatten slightly, and cook until golden brown on one side, 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side 2-3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
