• 2 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels about 3 medium ears
• 2 green onions minced
• 1 jalapeño pepper minced (and seeded for less heat)
• 3/4 cup Farm Boy™ Fiesta Blend Shredded Cheese (280 g)
• 2 Tbsp Farm Boy™ Organic 3.8% Whole Milk (946 ml)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 Tbsp Farm Boy™ Cornstarch (454 g)

Directions:

1. For the fritters: In large bowl, whisk eggs and then add corn kernels, green onions, jalapeño pepper, Farm Boy™ Fiesta Blend Shredded Cheese, and Farm Boy™ Organic Whole Milk. Mix to combine.
2. Add flour, Farm Boy™ Cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper and mix to make sure there are no dry spots.
3. Heat a large frying pan and add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Heat until it shimmers, then carefully drop heaping tablespoonfuls of batter onto hot oil. Press down so fritters are about ½” thick.

5. Remove to a rack set over a sheet pan to drain. Continue until all fritters are cooked.

7. Garnish fritters with sliced green onions and serve with chimichurri yogurt sauce.
