Servings: persons

1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup unbleached white flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 dash cayenne
1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk
1 egg yolk (save the white!)
1 cup cooked black beans
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup corn kernel (fresh or frozen)
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
3/4 cup chopped red bell pepper (1 medium pepper)
2 tablespoons diced roasted green chili peppers (canned or fresh)
2 egg whites (that includes the one from the egg yolk earlier)
1/4 cup canola oil (start frying with 1/2 cup - 1/4 cup is what is absorbed)

1
Sift together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne in a medium-sized bowl.
2
Beat the milk with the egg yolk, and add it to the dry ingredients, mixing well.
3
Stir in the beans, cheese, corn, cilantro, red pepper, and green chilies.
4
In another bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff. Gently fold them into the batter.
5
Heat 1/2 cup oil in a 10-inch iron skillet over medium-high heat. (Test the heat by dropping a bit of batter into the oil; it should immediately sizzle and rise to the top.).
6
Spoon in about 1/4 cup of batter for each fritter, making three or four at a time. Fry until golden brown on one side, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn and fry until golden brown on the other side, and drain on paper towels. Fry the rest of the batter in batches.
7
Serve immediately with sour cream and salsa on the side.
