How to Make Maw's Corn Fritters

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using).
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs and whisk in the melted butter.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the drained cream-style corn.
Heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C) in a large, deep skillet or deep fryer.
Drop spoonfuls of the corn batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve warm, optionally with butter and/or syrup.
