Corn Fritters

Ingredients

• 4 large corn on the cobs (about 3 cups of corn kernels, which is approx 2 cans worth)
• 120g plain flour
• 1/2 teaspoon bicarb soda
• 1 tablespoon chopped chives
• 1/2 green chilli, chopped
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 large egg, beaten
• vegetable oil, for cooking

Method

To prepare corn, stand a cob upright on a chopping board and, using a sharp knife, slice downwards, cutting kernels from cob. Put corn in a mixing bowl and sift in flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and bicarb soda. Add chives and chilli and season with freshly ground black pepper. Combine milk and egg and stir into corn mixture until combined; the mixture should fall off the spoon with a light tap. Add a little extra milk if necessary. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a non-stick frying pan over a moderate heat. Add large spoonfuls of mixture and cook each side for about 3 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining mixture, keeping cooked fritters in a warm oven. Serves 4.
