How to Make Homemade Corn Fritters:

Add 1-2" deep of frying oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Heat up to about 400F.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Stir in the cheddar cheese, corn kernels, and chopped jalapeños.
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.
Drop tablespoon sized balls of batter into the hot oil to fry for 3-5 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the corn fritters to a paper towel to drain excess oil.

How to Make a Dill Aioli Dipping Sauce:

Ingredients you'll need:

1/2 cup Plain Yogurt
2 Garlic Cloves, finely minced or grated
2 tbsp. Fresh Dill, chopped

1 tbsp. Olive Oil
1/2 tsp. EACH: Salt, Black Pepper + Chili Powder

Can corn fritters be made in advance?

The corn fritter batter can be made up to one day in advance by covering the bowl and storing in the fridge to fry next day. The corn fritters can also be fried and once cooled, stored in an airtight container to be reheated later. They last up to 4 days in the fridge. See instructions below for reheating!

‍

‍

How to store and reheat leftover corn fritters?

Store leftover corn fritters in an airtight container in the fridge up to 4 days. Reheat corn fritters in the oven at 375F on a parchment paper line pan for 8-15 minutes, until warmed through and crispy again. The baking time will depend on the corn fritter thickness. You may also want to flip them halfway through baking or rotate the baking pan.
