Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Corn

You will need about 2 cups of fresh corn kernels for this recipe. Fresh corn provides sweetness and texture that frozen or canned options may not match.

All-Purpose Flour

Using 1 cup of all-purpose flour helps bind the ingredients together while giving the bites a lovely crispiness when fried.

Eggs

Two large eggs are essential for binding the mixture and providing moisture. They help create a light and fluffy texture inside each bite.

Green Onions

Chop ½ cup of green onions to add freshness and a mild onion flavor that complements the corn perfectly.

Jalapeño Pepper

For some heat, include one finely chopped jalapeño pepper. Adjust the amount based on your spice preference to achieve your desired level of heat.

Cheese

Using 1 cup of shredded cheese (like cheddar or Monterey Jack) adds creaminess and richness to these bites.

Baking Powder

A teaspoon of baking powder is crucial as it gives the bites a light texture by helping them rise during cooking.

Salt and Pepper

Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of black pepper to enhance all the flavors in this dish.
