This Sweet Corn and Cheese Fritters is a must have. It is delightfully light, deliciously sweet and wonderfully crunchy. It’s so easy to make that you almost can’t believe it’s so good.
Fritters are a common dish in Jamaica. Saltfish fritters for something savoury and banana fritters for something sweet. Sweet Corn and Cheese fritter is a great combination of both savoury and sweet. This is a dish that can be very oily as it’s often deep fried or covered in oil. I prefer to cook it for longer in less oil to cut back but paper towels are definitely needed to soak up any excess.
