3/4 cup milk
2large eggslightly beaten
6scallionsfinely sliced

1cupshredded white sharp cheddar

Instructions
Slice the kernels off the corn and then reverse your knife and press out the milk.
In a medium bowl, mix the corn and the milk with the eggs, scallions, herbs, cheese, flour, chili powder, and garlic powder until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
Melt enough butter to cover the bottom of a frying pan generously.
Divide the batter roughly into 8 and drop into the skillet. (I fried two at a time so they didn't get crowded.)
Fry over medium heat until golden, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Using a wide spatula, turn them over and fry the other side until golden.
Remove from pan and place fritters on a plate or platter and serve immediately.
