How to Make Monterey Jack Corn Fritters

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of creamed corn, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1/4 cup milk, 1 large egg, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly thicker than pancake batter. If it's too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  3. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Lightly spray the hot griddle with cooking spray.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each fritter, leaving some space between each one.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Watch for bubbles to form on the surface before flipping.
  7. Serve the fritters immediately. They are delicious on their own or with a side of sour cream or salsa.
