Browsing around Pinterest lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of corn recipes and thought of corn fritters that I haven’t made in FOREVER. So I made these amazing Jalapeno Corn Fritters!

I decided to make these because I ran across something similar on Pinterest and thought… ooohhhh these look and sound so good! They make a great side dish or appetizer (especially game day appetizer!) I ended up having a few for my dinner. 🙂
These fritters come together in just 20 minutes. The combination of the sweet corn, spicy jalapenos and seasonings packed into a hearty fritter makes these the perfect game day appetizer.
So here’s how I made these awesome little fritters. If you’re not a jalapeno person, just omit them… I won’t be offended! 🙂

- 3 cups fresh corn (from 3 to 4 ears)
- 2 jalapeno peppers, seeds removed and chopped
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup cornmeal
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ⅓ cup loosely packed chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup milk
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Mix all ingredients (except olive oil) in a large bowl with a large spoon.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Form mixture into patties, about ⅓ cup each. Add additional flour, if needed to hold patties together.
- Fry until golden brown on each side for 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
This recipe looks delicious! Was just wondering if you boiled the ears of corn or used the corn raw?
Hi Libby, Thanks so much! The corn is fresh and not boiled. Hope you enjoy if you make them! 🙂
