Description

Don't know what to do when you have fresh corn on the cob? Try these corn fritters. The Cheddar cheese makes them to die for.

Ingredients

• 3 ears fresh corn (or 2 c. corn kernels)*
• 3 T. diced red or green bell pepper
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/2 c. water
• 1/2 c. grated Cheddar cheese
• 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
• 2 t. granulated sugar
• 1 t. chili powder
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 T. melted butter
• vegetable oil, for frying

Steps

1. Shuck and clean the corn.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add corn; boil for 3 minutes; remove from heat; allow to cool slightly.
3. Turn a small bowl upside down inside a larger bowl. This will creat a “stand” to stand the corn on in order to cut the kernels from the cobs. Cut the kernels from the ears; scrape cobs with a table knife to release all of the milk. Remove the small bowl; add bell pepper, eggs, water and cheese; stir to combine.
