Instructions

1. Make the dip by whisking together the mayonnaise, milk, ranch seasoning, and sriracha in a medium bowl until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

2. In a large bowl, combine the corn, flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic, eggs, milk, green onions, jalapeños, and cheddar cheese. Stir until everything is evenly mixed.

3. Pour about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil into a large skillet and warm it over medium heat.

4. Scoop about 3 tablespoons of batter into the skillet for each fritter. Cook in batches so the pan is not crowded, gently flattening each fritter to about 3 inches wide.

5. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until crisp and golden brown.

6. Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

7. Serve warm with the spicy ranch dip.

Notes

Drain the corn thoroughly before mixing the batter.

Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure crisp edges.

Serve immediately for the best texture.
