Ingredients

Scale

2 cups fresh corn kernels (or frozen, thawed)
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar or mozzarella cheese
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 large eggs
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions

Instructions

Gather all ingredients and cut fresh corn from the cob if needed.
In a large bowl, mix flour and baking powder until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk eggs, then stir in corn, cheese, and green onions.
Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and gently combine without overmixing.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, then drop spoonfuls of batter into the oil.
Fry until golden brown on both sides (about three minutes each side), then drain on paper towels.

Notes

For added flavor, consider mixing in spices like chili powder or paprika.

To make it healthier, bake the fritters instead of frying them.

Pair with sour cream or spicy salsa for an extra kick.
