Even though these are also called buñuelos, they are different from the ones on the previous page. These are sweet tasting corn fritters with a bit of sugar mixed in; they are served as snacks or as side dishes. In some parts of the country, they add cheese to the mixture; mix with a fork after blending the corn, egg, sugar, and salt and fry in the same manner.
Place the corn kernels, egg, sugar, and salt in a blender and puree to a homogenous but rough consistency. Place in a bowl.
Add the cheese and scallion, if using, and mix with a fork.
In a deep heavy pot, heat the oil to 350 F. Drop tablespoonfuls of mixture into the oil; do not let them touch. Fry until lightly golden (about 20 seconds); turn and fry on the other side.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain well over paper towels.
Serve warm.
