Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup diced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)

1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped

1/4 cup milk

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil or cooking spray (for greasing the baking dish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until well combined.

      Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs until fully combined.

        Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.

          Fold in Add-Ins: Gently fold in the corn kernels, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, and green onions until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

              Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the fritter bake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm, optionally topped with sour cream, additional jalapeños, or fresh cilantro.
