Instructions

Next add all the seasonings and then fold in the poblano, cheddar cheese scallions, corn, garlic and cilantro.
-
In a cast iron skillet or a shallow pan, head up some oil about ¼ inch thick to the pan. Add 1-2 tablespoons of batter into the pan to fry until lightly golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Set aside to drain on paper towels. Serve with the dipping sauce and enjoy!

Notes
- You can swap out all purpose flour for same amount of whole wheat or gluten free flour.
- Depending on the flour you use and the texture, you made need + or – milk to make sure the consistency is like pancake batter.
- You don’t need much oil, remember you are shallow frying these, not keeping frying.
- If you have any leftovers, pop them in the air fryer next day at 400F for 5-7 mins.
- Cook the poblano pepper and corn kernels for a little bit in a cast iron skillet for a smokey charred taste, trust me you won’t regret skipping this step!

So good!! I made these for a family gathering and they were such a hit. I had leftovers so I froze them and pop them into the air fryer for a quick lunch and they taste as good as the day I made them. Love this recipe.

Hi Sonam,
YAY!!! I love hearing that you had them as leftover and were able to freeze them without any issues!! Sometimes its so nice to have frozen items that can be heated up in mins and still taste delicious.
