These fritters are especially delicious with the juice from a pork or beef roast, but just as good a side dish to any meal. If desired, they can be made without the grated cheese. This recipe makes alot of fritters, but they freeze excellent, although I doubt if there will be any leftovers, these are so delicious! Cooking time is for each fritter, and is only approximate, it depends on the size of the fritters. Ingredients:

1 tablespoon baking powder |

1 cup milk (or half and half cream) |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
1 cup finely grated cheddar cheese |
1 1/2 cups canned corn niblets, drained |

Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne, black pepper and sugar.
2. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, add in the milk and melted butter; add to the flour and whisk until well combined.
3. Add in the grated cheese and the corn niblets; mix to combine with a wooden spoon.
