Steps:
- Gather all the ingredients. Place a clean kitchen towel over a medium bowl. With a sharp knife, remove the kernels from the cob. Reverse your knife and scrape any remaining pulp from the cob using the dull side of the knife (you should have about 1½ cups of kernels). Empty the kernels into the bowl.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. If you are not ready to cook the fritters, cover the mixture and refrigerate it until ready to use; just remember to stir well before frying.
- When you are ready to cook the fritters, check the batter by using a spoon to lift a heaping spoonful from the mixture. The batter on the spoon should just hold together, without being watery. If it is too wet, adjust with some extra flour.
- Heat the oil over medium-high temperature in a large, no-stick, heavy-bottomed skillet. When the oil begins to shimmer, carefully drop one heaping tablespoon of the mixture into the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium. Gently flatten the patty with a spatula. After about a minute or two, check the underside to ensure that it is lightly browned. Flip the fritter, and cook for one or two minutes more on the other side, or, until it is evenly a golden brown color. Transfer the fritter to a plate lined with a paper towel and let it cool briefly. Taste. If the fritter needs more seasoning, add more to the batter. If the fritter was too wet and did not stay together at all, add a bit more flour. If the fritter is too thick, add an additional ½ beaten egg to the batter. Mix again very well.
- Fry up the rest of the fritters in the same way as the tester fritter, adding a thin layer of oil to the pan with each batch.
- Serve the fritters with a dollop of sour cream and, if you wish, a wedge of fresh lime.
CHEDDAR CHEESE CORN FRITTERS
These fritters are especially delicious with the juice from a pork or beef roast, but just as good a side dish to any meal. If desired, they can be made without the grated cheese. This recipe makes alot of fritters, but they freeze excellent, although I doubt if there will be any leftovers, these are so delicious! Cooking time is for each fritter, and is only approximate, it depends on the size of the fritters.

Steps:
- Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.
- Mix corn, egg yolks, flour, salt, and red pepper together in a large bowl; fold beaten egg whites into the corn mixture.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, drop corn mixture into hot oil by the tablespoonful in several spots without crowding the pan; cook until browned and set, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining batter.

Tips:
- For the freshest corn fritters, use fresh corn kernels. If you don't have fresh corn on hand, you can use frozen corn kernels that have been thawed and drained.
- Be sure to drain the corn kernels well before adding them to the batter. This will help to prevent the fritters from being too wet.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the fritters tough.
- Heat the oil to the proper temperature before frying the fritters. If the oil is not hot enough, the fritters will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- Fry the fritters in small batches so that they don't overcrowd the pan. Overcrowding will cause the fritters to stick together and become soggy.
- Serve the fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Fresh corn fritters with cheddar cheese are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish or appetizer. They're perfect for a summer party or potluck. With their crispy exterior and fluffy interior, these fritters are sure to be a hit with everyone.
