Corn Fritters

In the next few weeks I'm going to try post recipes designed for 2. Valentine's Day is coming up after all! My husband and I don't actually observe the day - we don't buy each other gifts, but I usually cook him something. I use holidays and special occasions as an excuse to make something special!

To kick things off, here is an easy-peasy dish requiring only a few ingredients. Feel free to add whatever you like - chopped capsicum, grated carrot or zucchini, even diced potatoes (if you want more carbs!) I use canned corn because: 1. I'm lazy and 2. you can always keep cans of it handy in the pantry.

It makes a nice starter or can be an accompaniment to your main dish. It's also delicious for a weekend brunch (or breakfast in bed!)

Perfect to top with eggs, smoked salmon, crème fraîche, tzatziki, chives, sprouts, caviar - sky's the limit!

CORN FRITTERS

All you need to feed two (or a hungry one) is:

1 400g can of corn kernels - I used a can of peas and corn

1/2 cup plain flour

1 egg

Milk

 First drain your canned corn (or in this case, canned peas & corn).
You can also use fresh corn - simply boil for a few minutes then cut the kernels off.

 Place the flour and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
Mix in the egg and about 3 tbsp of milk.
Only add a bit of milk - just enough to combine the mixture, because the corn will provide more moisture.
Fold in your corn, then add more milk if necessary.
Cook the fritters just like pancakes, frying a for few minutes each side.
