In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole kernel corn, baking powder, sugar, all-purpose flour, egg, and salt. Stir until well blended and slightly thick.

Place a frying pan over medium heat and add enough oil or butter for frying. Heat for 3-4 minutes until hot but not smoking.

Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Flatten slightly and fry for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.

Remove fritters and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Let sit for a minute before serving.

Serve warm with toppings like maple syrup, applesauce, or sour cream.
