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, adjust according to heat preference)

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: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by greasing it with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Add a generous pinch of salt and black pepper. Using a whisk, blend these dry ingredients well until thoroughly mixed and airy.

      Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, crack the two large eggs and whisk them together with the milk until the mixture is smooth and uniform.

        Combine Ingredients: Carefully pour the wet egg and milk mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or spoon until just combined—avoid over-mixing to keep the fritter bake light and fluffy.

          Fold in Add-Ins: Gently fold in the corn kernels, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, and finely chopped green onions. Make sure these delightful ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the batter without overworking it.

            Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the flavorful batter into the greased baking dish, using a spatula to spread it evenly across the surface.

              Bake: Carefully place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the top is a golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating doneness.

                Cool and Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5-10 minutes. Slice into squares to serve warm. For an extra flair, consider topping each square with a dollop of sour cream, additional jalapeños for heat, or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for brightness.
