1.

In a large bowl, combine corn kernels, shredded cheese, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper, mixing thoroughly.

2.

Add the chopped green onions to the mixture and stir to distribute evenly throughout the dry ingredients.

3.

In a separate small bowl, beat the egg and milk together, then pour this mixture into the dry ingredients.

4.

Stir the batter until all ingredients are well combined, ensuring no dry spots remain in the mixture.

5.

Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking, about 350°F.

6.

Spoon heaped tablespoons of the batter into the pan, flattening slightly with the back of the spoon to form fritters.

7.

Cook each fritter for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

8.

Drain the cooked fritters on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

9.

Serve the fritters warm, garnished with additional green onions or a side of dipping sauce, if desired.
