Corn Fritters

We rarely do stuff like this as I tend to view it as 'fiddly' - was very pleasantly surprised by these. A bit of a different serving of carbohydrate when you just want a little something to be a pleasant side-kick. Would happily have them as a snack in themselves, actually, with a bit of mango chutney or something. Didn't take long at all. For really-quite-enough-and -leave-some-over for three people, we did

• one corn on the cob
• 1/2 cup flour + 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 90ml milk
• 1 egg, separated
• bit of green onion

Take the kernels off the cob. Whisk the egg white. comine the flour and so on with the milk and egg, then add corn kernels and egg white. Dollop spoonfulls of batter into a frying pan - large as you like but I guess about like oversize blinis or... well, small patties. Shallow fry a few minutes on each side - you don't need much oil at all, they don't stick much - rather like pancakes, I suppose.
We had these with steak, green beans, and I think a salad - it all went rather nicely.
