Instructions

  1. To Make the Corn Fritters: Add 1-2" deep of frying oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Heat up to about 400F.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Stir in the cheddar cheese, corn kernels, and chopped jalapeños.
  4. Create a well in the center and add the beaten egg, milk, and honey. Stir until well-combined. If the batter seems too wet, you can add a little flour until thick cake-like batter. If too thin, you can add a little milk.
  5. Drop tablespoon sized balls of batter into the hot oil to fry for 3-5 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  6. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the corn fritters to a paper towel to drain excess oil.
  7. To Make the Dill Aioli: Stir all ingredients together until smooth. Enjoy with the warm corn fritters!
