- 360g (3 cups) cake flour

- 5ml (1 tsp) salt
- 2,5ml (½ tsp) bicarbonate of soda

- 125ml (½ cup) corn kernels
- 250ml (1 cup) water
- oil, for deep-frying
Instructions
1
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except for the oil. Mix thoroughly until well combined. If the mixture is too thick to stir, add a little water. It should be the right consistency to drop spoonfuls into a pan of hot oil for frying.
2
Heat the oil in a pan and drop in spoonfuls of the mixture, flattening them slightly with a fork to form fritters. Deep-fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towel.
3
Serve hot with sauce of your choice.
