Ingredients (serves 4):

- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup sweet onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Cooking Tips:

- To make these Sweet Onion Corn Bites even more flavorful, try adding some chopped jalapeno or red pepper flakes to the batter.
- For a healthier version, you can bake these bites instead of frying them. Simply preheat your oven to 375 degrees F, place the bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
4. Fold in the chopped sweet onion and corn kernels.
5. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
6. Using a tablespoon, drop the batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
7. Remove the bites from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
8. Serve the Sweet Onion Corn Bites warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
