Ingredients
- 2 cups corn
- 400 g (14oz) creamed corn canned
- 2 egg
- 1½ cups cheddar cheese mature, grated
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1½ cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ cup milk
for the spicy avocado salsa
- 2 avocado chopped
- 1 red onion peeled and finely chopped, small
- 1 red chili pepper finely chopped (remove seeds if you don't like it hot
- lemon juice of ½ lemon
- black pepper to taste
- salt to taste
- Coriander to serve, fresh
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, creamed corn, eggs, cheddar, smoked paprika and salt and mix well.
- Sift in the flour and baking powder and mix well.
- Slowly stir in the milk until the batter is not too thick and drops off a spoon easily. (it should also not be so thin that it spreads too much when you fry the cakes)
- Heat a large frying pan and add some oil.
- Fry spoonfuls of the batter until bubbles appear at the top and flip. Allow to cook on the other side. Remove from the pan once cooked and place on some kitchen paper to drain.
- In the meantime, combine all the ingredients for the salsa and mix well.
- When all the cakes have been cooked, serve them with the salsa, extra lemon wedges and fresh coriander.
