Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Gather fresh corn and cut the kernels off the cob into a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour and baking powder, whisk until smooth.
Whisk eggs in another bowl until frothy, then stir in corn, cheese, and chopped green onions.
Pour the egg and corn mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until a drop of batter sizzles gently.
Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and fry for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Use a slotted spoon to remove fritters from oil and place them on paper towels to drain.
Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
