Mix together 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup cornmeal, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar in a bowl.

Add 1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter and 1 beaten egg to the dry ingredients and mix well.

Prepare fresh corn by cutting kernels off the cob and scraping the creamy part off for sweetness.

Add about 2 cups of corn kernels to the mixture and stir to combine.

Gradually add 1 cup of milk to the mixture until the desired consistency is reached, aiming for a thickness of about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch.

Heat a cast iron skillet and add about a quarter inch of cooking oil to the bottom.

Test the oil by dropping a bit of batter in; if it fries up, the oil is ready.

Spoon the corn fritter mixture into the skillet, cooking until golden brown on one side before flipping.

Remove the fritters and drain on paper towels after cooking.

Repeat the process until all the mixture is used, ensuring to remove any leftover corn bits from the oil between batches.
