Ingredients (serves 4):
- 2 cups corn kernels
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped jalapeno pepper
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Tips:
- Use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor and texture.
- Be sure to chop the peppers and onions finely so they cook evenly.
- Don't overmix the batter - it should be slightly lumpy for the best texture.
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, flour, cornmeal, sugar, milk, egg, green onions, red bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Using a tablespoon, drop the batter into the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
3. Serve the Sweet and Spicy Corn Bites hot, garnished with additional chopped green onions and jalapeno peppers if desired.
