Gather @sweet corn{2%can}, @egg{2}, @all-purpose flour{100%g}, @cheddar cheese{80%g}, @vegetable oil{250%ml} and @black pepper{}.

Pulse half the corn in a food processor (or mash with a fork) to release its starch, leaving the other half whole.

In a bowl, whisk the eggs and @milk{60%ml}, then stir in the mashed and whole corn, flour, cheese, @spring onion{2%stalk}, @salt{1%tsp} and pepper into a thick, scoopable batter.

Heat about 1cm of oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

Drop heaped tablespoons of batter into the oil, flattening slightly, and fry in batches, 2–3 minutes per side, until deep golden. ~{3%minutes}

Drain on paper towels.

Serve warm, plain or with a dab of hot sauce.
