Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh or frozen sweet corn kernels

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cornmeal

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

3/4 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with a splash of vinegar)

1 large egg

1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped

1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Sour cream or Greek yogurt for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

    Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper until evenly combined. This will create a flavorful dry mixture for your fritters.

      Add Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk and egg together until smooth. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while stirring gently. Mix just until combined—it's okay if a few lumps remain; overmixing can make the fritters tough.

        Incorporate Corn and Flavorings: Carefully fold in the sweet corn kernels, finely chopped green onions, and shredded cheddar cheese into the batter. Ensure that all ingredients are evenly distributed without overmixing.

          Form the Fritters: Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the fritter batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each mound about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each mound into a patty shape to promote even cooking. For an extra crispy finish, lightly drizzle or brush the tops with olive oil.

            Bake the Fritters: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The fritters should be golden brown on the bottom. For even baking, carefully flip the fritters halfway through the baking time.

              Stack Them Up: Once baked, allow the fritters to cool for a few minutes. Create delightful stacks by grouping them in twos or threes on a serving plate. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley on top for a burst of color and flavor.

                Serve: Enjoy your fritters warm alongside a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, if desired. These stacks are perfect for sharing or as a fill-you-up snack!
