200 g grated cheddar cheese100 g all-purpose flour2 pcs large eggs150 g panko breadcrumbs1 tsp salt0.5 tsp ground black pepper1 tsp smoked paprika0.5 tsp garlic powder500 ml vegetable oil, for frying

Steps

Corn Mixture

In a large bowl, combine the drained sweet corn, grated cheddar cheese, 100g of all-purpose flour, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

Form the Balls

Take small portions of the corn mixture and roll them into golf-ball sized spheres. If the mixture is too sticky, lightly flour your hands.

Breading

Set up a dredging station with three bowls: one with extra flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with the panko breadcrumbs. Roll each corn ball first in flour, then in egg, and finally in panko breadcrumbs, ensuring it's fully coated.

Frying

Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 170-180°C (340-350°F). Fry the corn balls in batches for 3-5 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serving

Serve immediately while hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as a garlic sour cream dip or sweet chili sauce.

Extra Tips

► Drain the corn thoroughly to prevent the balls from becoming watery and to ensure they stay crispy.

► Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crispiness, but regular breadcrumbs will also work.

► Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as garlic sour cream dip or sweet chili sauce.
