In a mixing bowl, combine 1 and 1/3 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of white sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Add 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder to the bowl and mix well.

Add 1 egg (slightly beaten) to the mixture and stir.

Gradually mix in 3/4 cup of milk, ensuring the batter is thick and not too thin.

Add 1 and 1/2 cups of defrosted frozen corn (or one can of dried corn) to the batter and mix until combined.

Check the oil temperature by adding a little flour; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.

Using a large tablespoon, drop heaping spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, ensuring they have enough space to float.

Fry the fritters, watching for golden brown color and bubbles around the edges, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Turn the fritters using a fork to avoid sticking, and cook until both sides are golden brown.

Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a cookie sheet to drain excess oil.
