Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir leeks until slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Stir beer, milk, butter, and egg together in a bowl. Whisk whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, black pepper, basil, and thyme into beer mixture until batter is smooth. Fold corn, Cheddar cheese, and leeks into batter.
- Heat about 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Drop large spoonfuls batter into the hot oil and fry until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 2 more tablespoons oil to skillet and flip fritters; fry until other side is golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining batter and oil.

CHEESY CORN FRITTERS
Leftover corn on the cob gets a starring role in these kid-pleasing, main-course dinner patties. Serve on whole wheat buns loaded with tomato slices and lettuce, or place on a bed of lightly dressed mixed greens and drizzle with salsa. From Today's Parent.

Steps:
- Carefully slice corn kernels from leftover cobs and set aside. Then, in a medium bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, salt and baking soda. Add cheddar cheese and stir, then mix in corn niblets and green onion. In a separate small bowl, combine egg and milk, and whisk until frothy. Add to corn mixture and combine well.
- Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. To form patties, scoop batter 1/3 cup (75 mL) at a time and place in hot pan (a dry measure or ice cream scoop works well). Flatten patties slightly with the back of a large spoon; each should be about the size of a hamburger. Fry 5 to 6 minutes, turning halfway through cooking time, until patties are golden brown on both sides.

Tips:
- Use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen corn kernels, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- Add some chopped vegetables to the batter for extra nutrition and flavor. Good options include bell peppers, onions, and zucchini.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the fritters tough.
- Be sure to heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying the fritters. If the oil is too cold, the fritters will absorb too much oil and become greasy. If the oil is too hot, the fritters will burn.
- Serve the fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Some good options include ketchup, ranch dressing, or honey mustard.
Conclusion:
Cheesy corn fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these tasty fritters in no time.
