This easy corn fritter recipe is loaded with cheesy goodness! But not just any cheese – we wanted to give these corn fritters a richer flavor combination than traditional ones and used our Cabot Garlic Herb Cheddar cheese. You’ll love the result! These fritters are the perfect way to enjoy the flavors of summer. After making these tasty corn fritters with cornmeal, share the recipe with family and friends on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter or Instagram.
To make about 18 cheddar corn fritters, whisk together cornmeal, grated Cabot Garlic Herb Cheddar, flour, salt and baking soda in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together milk, egg and maple syrup. Stir into the cornmeal mixture until no trace of dry ingredients remain, being careful not to over mix. Then stir in the fresh steamed corn (or frozen corn).
Heat vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Working in batches of about four fritters, spoon 1 heaping tablespoon of batter per fritter into skillet and cook until lightly browned on the underside, about 2 minutes. Turn over and cook until lightly browned on the second side, about 2 minutes more.
Transfer to paper towels with a spatula to drain and enjoy.
