Author Notes: A local farmer grows the best sweet corn I've ever had. People come from miles around just to buy her corn, and I always buy several dozen ears to freeze for myself. - 1Annie

Serves 8-10 fritters

4 ears of fresh corn, cooked, then removed from cob
1 & half cup unbleached flour
pinch sea salt
quarter cup raw sugar
1 brown egg
1 tablespoon alum free baking powder
splash whole milk
half cup real shredded cheddar cheese
Pure vegetable for frying

Cook corn in boiling water approx. 8 mins, until tender.Cool and strip kernals of corn from cob. In a large mixing bowl, whisk egg with milk. Add remaining ingredients except corn. Gradually add corn without over mixing. In a large skillet, heat oil without burning. By spoonfuls drop your batter into the hot oil into a pancake shape. Cook approx. 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on brown paper bag. Serve with sour cream, applesauce and cinnamon, salsa, or your favorite topping. Makes approx. 8 fritters depending on the size. for variation, you can add chopped onion to the batter. I have even added diced tomatoes and zucchini with fresh cut chives from my herb garden
