Instructions: You will need a flat griddle or heavy based frying pan or cast pan to cook these on. Pre-heat and rub with an oiled cloth before you start.

Sweat the garlic, chilli, and spring onion off in the oil.

Put all other ingredients in a mixing bowl. Add the onion mix and blend all together with a spoon to form a fairly stiff batter. Season.

Drop dessert spoons of the mixture onto the pre-heated griddle and cook for about a minute.

Flip over with a palatte knife and cook on the other side. The corn cakes should be golden and lacy. They will take about a minute each side - taste one to make sure tyour timimgs are right.

These are delicious as pre-dinner nibbles, to use with dips or as an accomaniment to all kinds of spicy food.
