Instructions
- Make the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Add the egg and water, and stir until combined.
- Add the corn and cheese: Fold in the drained corn, Parmesan, and shredded white cheese until evenly mixed.
- Heat the pan: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or butter.
- Scoop the batter: Using a scoop or large spoon, drop mounds of the batter onto the hot pan, leaving some space between each fritter.
- Pan-fry the fritters: Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Press down slightly with a spatula to flatten as they cook.
- Drain and serve: Remove the fritters from the pan and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy as a snack or side dish.
