Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayo and sriracha. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to serve.
In a large bowl, fold together the premade baking mix, creamed corn, milk, eggs, corn kernels, chili powder, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper until well combined. Set aside while you heat the oil.
Pour the oil into a deep skillet or Dutch oven. Heat to 350°F using a fry thermometer.
Using a 3-tablespoon-sized scoop, drop the batter into the hot oil, starting with one fritter. Fry it until deep brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes.
Transfer the fritter to a plate lined with paper towels. Break it open with a fork to ensure it’s fully cooked inside. If not, adjust the oil temperature or fry them for a few more seconds.
Continue frying the rest of the fritters in batches of 5.
Serve immediately with the sriracha mayo. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

Cheese: Add shredded cheese to the batter for an extra cheesy twist. Cheddar, pepper jack, or mozzarella would work well.
Vegetarian: You can substitute the creamed corn with fresh or frozen corn kernels for a lighter, healthier option.
Spicy Mayo: Adjust the amount of sriracha in the mayo to make it spicier or milder depending on your preference.
Add Fresh Herbs: Add chopped fresh cilantro or parsley to the batter to infuse a fresh, herbal note into the fritters.
