3 cups oil (for frying)
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. white sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 tbsp. shortening, melted
1 (15 oz.) can whole kernel corn, drained

Heat oil in a heavy pot or deep fryer to 365°F.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Beat together egg, milk, and melted shortening; stir into flour mixture. Mix in the corn kernels.

Drop fritter batter by spoonfuls into the hot oil, and fry until golden. Drain on paper towels.
