Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Combine the dry ingredients: Whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder in a large mixing bowl until well incorporated.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk 2 eggs until frothy, then add 1 cup of sweet corn, 1 cup of shredded cheese, and 2 finely chopped green onions.
  3. Combine mixtures: Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently to combine without overmixing.
  4. Heat the oil: In a skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of oil over medium heat to around 350°F (175°C). Test with a spoonful of batter.
  5. Fry the fritters: Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, cooking for about 3 minutes on one side until golden brown.
  6. Flip and finish cooking: Once golden, gently flip each fritter and fry for an additional 3 minutes.
  7. Drain and serve: Remove fritters from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve warm.
  8. Enjoy the leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
