Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and stir in the milk until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be thick but smooth.

Step 4

Fold in the corn kernels, green onions, and cheddar cheese (if using) until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, flattening slightly with the back of the spoon. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
