Corn Fritters

Corn fritters remind me of university days, such a  good lunch for the flat. Actually if our flat was a country then corn fritters may have just been our national dish (if you don't count Speight's as a meal). They take two minutes to throw together, cost about two bucks a batch and can make a great brunch, lunch or easy tea when cooking is not on the motivation list.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 can cream style corn or kernels depending on what you prefer
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 Tblsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 beaten eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/3 cup diced red pepper
• 1/4 cup diced onion

TO SERVE:

• 3 rashers bacon
• 2 Tblsp sour cream
• 1/2 Tblsp fresh chives chopped
•  1/2 Tblsp fresh parsley chopped
• 1 Tblsp tomato relish
• basil leaves

METHOD:
Make a batter from the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, eggs and milk. Beat until smooth. Add the corn, red pepper and onion. Drop a tablespoon of the mixture onto a non stick frying pan. Cook until golden and then turn and cook the other side.
Cook the bacon until crispy. Mix the sour cream, parsley and chives together in a small bowl.
Serve the fritters in a stack with the bacon, sour cream and relish. Finish off with the fresh basil leaves.
yum!!
