Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or paper towels and set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir to combine the muffin mix, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Make a well in the center and add the egg, milk, and butter. Stirring until just combined. Fold in the corn and green onions.
- Heat oil in a large skillet to medium heat. Use enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. If you are cooking in batches you may need to add a little oil as you go.
- Carefully drop 1/3 cup of batter it into the hot oil and use the back of a spoon to flatten the batter. Fry on each side, for about 3 to 4 minutes. After you flip the fritters use a spatula to gently press down, this will help to flatten them out and cook the inside evenly. Try and flip the fritters only once.
- Transfer the fritters to prepared tray. Serve warm, with a little creamy Tajin sauce or sour cream, if desired!
