Corn Fritters

Corn fritters or corn cakes, as I like to call them because I tend to use less oil and therefore they look more like a pancake than a fried fritter. A savoury addition to almost any meal; that may be dressed up in many ways by adding chopped green onions, cilantro, jalapeño peppers, bacon and different herbs and seasonings. I enjoy serving them with spicy salsa however adding a dab of sour cream would not go a miss or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness. These unadulterated and uncomplicated corn fritters are pure bliss.

1 teaspoon mixed seasoning

1/2 cup milk

2 eggs, beaten

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, mixed seasoning and salt. Make a well in the and add the milk, beaten eggs and oil. Blend until the batter is smooth.

Add the can of corn kernels (or 1 cup fresh) and mix well.

Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a fry pan and drop fritters by level tablespoonfuls into the hot oil. Fry until golden, turning once. Drain and serve. Serve with salsa and sour cream or maple syrup.

Seoul Fried Chicken

This past weekend we had a chance to try the very sought after Seoul Fried Chicken. There have been many positive things said about this eatery and their menu items that we could not resist. 

Pictured is a half order of their Korean Barbeque, SFC BBQ, and a half order of Original, SFC OG. The Original was not greasy or too salty. A nice seasoned crunch gave way to the tender chicken. The Korean BBQ had the perfect amount of tang and spice. For those who like heat this ones for you. Both are very good! 

Also, this is their combo 5pc Chicken Set: Any single chicken flavour... I chose, Onion Lover with sweet hot mustard sauce and topped with shredded green onion, a side of kimchi, a corn fritter and a beverage. The corn fritters are sweet, the kimchi hot and spicy and the mustard sauce gave just enough heat to tantalize the taste buds! Seoul Fried Chicken is an absolute delight for which one should try and share.

Hope everyone is having a good week. Plenty of sunshine here! - JD     

Corn Fritters

These are the corn fritters I made from the cookbook I reviewed yesterday. The recipe was easy and in no time they were hot and ready to eat. Cheesy with fresh chives. I served them with a... you guessed it, leafy green salad and raw veggies. They were dressed with salsa. Although the kidlets just had to try them with syrup! After all the sweet and savoury flavours it was agreed that the salsa was the best. - JW
