Equipment

Large cast iron skillet

Ingredients

1¼ cup all purpose flour or cup-for-cup gluten-free baking mix
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
1 pinch paprika
1 cup milk or milk substitute from a carton
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
½ cup green onions sliced, plus more for serving
30 ounces corn kernels canned (drained) or frozen (thawed and drained)
butter or cooking spray, for pan frying the fritters
sour cream for serving

Instructions

Stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic, onion, and paprika in a large bowl. Stir in the milk to form a batter. See tips above if the batter is too thin.
Fold in the cheddar cheese, green onions, and corn until well mixed. Let batter rest for 5-10 minutes so that the flour can absorb the moisture.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, adding butter if needed, until hot.
Add ⅓ cup of the batter to your pan for each fritter and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until both sides are golden and the inside is fully cooked. Continue cooking the corn fritters in batches until all the batter is cooked.
Enjoy hot with sour cream, green onions, or salsa.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Air fry at 390℉ for 3-5 minutes to reheat.
