Ingredients

  • 2 cups corn kernels (fresh, canned and drained, or frozen and thawed)

  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Notes

  • Fresh, canned, or frozen corn all work well in this recipe.
  • Add shredded cheddar cheese for extra flavor and richness.
  • For a spicy version, mix in diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • Fresh herbs such as cilantro, parsley, chives, or dill make great additions.
  • Finely diced bell peppers or zucchini add extra texture and nutrition.
  • Reheat in an oven, air fryer, or skillet for the crispiest results.
