Cook's note

Keep the oil at a steady medium heat so the centers cook before the outsides darken. A spoonful of sour cream or a squeeze of lime on the side is also good.

Method

  1. Whisk the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, paprika and pepper in a large bowl.

  2. In a second bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, then stir into the dry ingredients until just combined.

  3. Fold in the corn, cheddar and cilantro. The batter should be thick and scoopable.

  4. Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

  5. Drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the oil, flattening slightly. Fry in batches for per side, until deep golden and cooked through.

  6. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve warm with a drizzle of honey.
