Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 4 tbsp butter melted
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tbsp ground black pepper
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 3 tsp garlic powder
- 3 tsp chili powder
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 medium onion diced finely
- 10 oz sweet corn
- ½ cup jalapenos pickled or fresh
- ¾ cup shredded mozzarella
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, butter, and milk. Add slowly to the dry ingredients, whisking to combine together until the mixture is smooth and thick.
- Add the remaining ingredients then stir to combine.
- In a Dutch oven, pour about 6 cups of canola oil and heat on medium-high heat until the oil is hot. Using a 1/4 cup at a time, add the mixture to the oil and fry for about 3-5 minutes, flipping once if the fritter is not completely submerged with oil to ensure it is fried.
- Continue making fritters with the remaining batter and serve. Add more oil if you need to during the frying process.
