Baked Corn Fritters in 25 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
3. In a separate smaller bowl, beat the egg and milk until combined, then stir in the melted butter.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and fold gently until just combined; do not overmix.
5. Add the sweet corn, chopped chives, and cheese to the batter, folding together until the corn is evenly coated.
6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of batter per fritter onto the tray, flattening the tops slightly with the back of a spoon.
8. Bake for 7–8 minutes, flip each fritter carefully, and bake for another 7 minutes until mahogany-colored and firm.
