Corn cakes

We are getting lots of luscious cobs of sweetcorn in the veg boxes at present, so I have been searching out new recipes to use them. I found this in my Two Fat Ladies cookery book and cooked some for Saturday lunch:



Corn Griddle Cakes

Ingredients

8oz (225g) plain flour

1½ tsp baking powder

>¼ tsp paprika

>½ tsp salt

6oz (175g) fresh sweetcorn kernels

1 egg, beaten

4fl oz (125ml) milk

2 tbsp melted butter

Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl. Combine the sweetcorn, egg and milk, add to flour mixture and mix well. Then add the melted butter. Spoon onto a hot griddle, using 2 or 3 tbsp of mixture for each cake. Cook until bubbles show on the surface, then turn cakes over and cook until golden brown.

They were delicious and I will be adding them to my quick and easy standby meals.

Today, I made Nigel Slater's Smoked haddock chowder with leeks and sweetcorn, but I used smoked cod. What next? There are more corn cobs in the latest veg box so recipe suggestions gratefully accepted.
