Description

  1. To make the fritters, combine half the corn with the eggs and flour in the jug of a stick blender and whizz until creamy and combined. In a bowl add the remaining corn, onion and the chopped coriander and mix well with the creamed egg mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
