Corn Fritters

I have a theory that I want to put forward. Everyone loves corn. Thats it, cue acceptance music for FoodBlog 2013. It's a pretty simple thought but a very true one, I don't know anyone that doesnt like corn in some form or another. The best way to enjoy it is chargrilled with a little lime juice and salt on the BBQ, but because it is winter here in Australia we have to be a little more creative. So 1 Blender, 3 corn cobs and some other stuff and we have the perfect recipe for Corn Fritters.

I think I say this for almost every recipe I post, but this really is a simple meal to prepare and cook. It is basically a one-blender-wonder. The biggest decision you will have to make with this recipe is what & how you serve it. When I made this last (last night), I served it with a poached egg on top, chilli oil and some fresh coriander. But you can do what you want...use it as a side dish to some fresh pan seared scallops. God yes that sounds awesome...I'll add that to my list of recipes to try.

Now one last thing with this one, fresh is best. Don't use canned corn kernels for this as you won't get that crunch when they are cooked.

Anyway onto the best part...the recipe!

Makes

3 large corn cobs,
1 small red onion
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs
1 bunch coriander
1/2 tsp baking powder
salt
pepper
oil for shallow frying

Place corn kernels from 1 cob in blender with remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Remove and place mixture in a bowl and stir through the remaining 2 cobs worth of kernels.

Heat enough oil over medium heat in frying pan. Pour just under 1/2 cup of mixture into pan and spread out a little. Fry until golden brown on base then flip over and cook for same amount of time.

Place on a plate in oven to keep warm until you are ready to serve.
