These zucchini corn fritters are full of grated zucchini and fresh corn. Cheese is optional, but not in my house! They're light and fluffy, and my family can't get enough of them. Serve hot with ranch dressing.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup sugar, or to taste

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon cumin

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 cup milk

  • ¼ cup butter, melted and slightly cooled

  • 2 large eggs, beaten

  • 2 cups grated zucchini

  • 1 ½ cups fresh corn, kernels cut from cob

Directions

  1. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, cumin, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.
