Easy Jalapeño Corn Fritters
These crispy and golden corn fritters are packed with a little heat and make the perfect snack or side dish.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so special about sweet corn when it gets crispy in a hot pan. These fritters have a wonderful texture with a crunchy outside and a soft middle that keeps everyone reaching for seconds.
Since these are entirely vegan, they are a great crowd pleaser for any gathering. My best tip is to make sure your pan is nice and hot before you add the batter so you get that perfect golden color every time.
