Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the corn, green onion, eggs, and milk until well combined.

Step 2

Heat enough oil to coat the bottom of a large skillet over medium heat. Spoon the batter into the skillet in ¼ cup mounds, spacing them at least 2 inches apart (you’ll need to cook in batches). Using the back of a spoon, press each mound to flatten it into a disc about ½ inch thick.

Step 3

Fry fritters until golden brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Drain fritters on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.

Step 4

Serve fritters warm with sour cream and green onions.
