Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine the sweet corn, jalapeños, flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Don’t overmix or they’ll be tough!

Notes

To keep leftovers fresh, store in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3 days or freeze for up to a month. Reheat in the oven for crispy texture.
