In a mixing bowl, combine corn, cornmeal, flour, beaten egg, milk, baking powder, salt, pepper, and cheddar cheese. Mix well until combined.

Let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

Using a spoon, drop small amounts of the corn mixture into the hot oil.

Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

Remove the nuggets with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
