Scale
- 6 ears corn on the cob
- 1 cup cornmeal

- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 Tablespoon lime juice
- 1 Tablespoon garlic paste or minced garlic

Instructions
- Boil the corn in salted water for 10 minutes. Let cool and cut the kernels off the cob. You should have about 4 to 5 cups corn kernels.
- Add the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, milk, eggs, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, ground red pepper, kosher salt, and pepper to a bowl. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Add the corn kernels, cotija cheese, and cilantro. Gently fold them into the mix. Form this mixture into patties with your hands and place on a tray or baking sheet.
- Preheat the Blackstone to medium heat for at least 5 minutes. Once preheated, add vegetable oil and put the fritters on the griddle using a spatula for 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Top with more cilantro and cotija cheese if desired and serve with the Street Corn Fritter Dipping Sauce on the side.
Notes
- If the mixture seems too dry, add more milk.
- If it seems too wet, add more cornmeal or flour.
