Ingredients

3 heaped tbsps of flour (my tablespoons are quite large, I really should weigh it)
1 egg
About 10 fl oz milk (I use skimmed, but whatever suits you)
*You want the mixture to be quite thick, so do adjust as I am just guessing as I have loads in the freezer currently so didn't want to make it just for popping on here!
Ground black pepper
1 tsp olive oil
Mix in the blender, or with whisk.
To the mixture add
A large tin of sweetcorn or half a pound of defrosted corn kernels
1 large or two small, finely chopped peppers
Ditto onion.

Onion can be substituted with leek or lots of chives or shallots, pepper can be substituted with just about anything. I have used vast quantities of grated carrot, elderly runner beans from the freezer, just about anything. As long as you keep the onion in some form or other, and the sweetcorn, they will always taste nice. I did try chopped fried bacon pieces once but it was a waste of time, you couldn't taste them.

Handy Hint

You don't have to add egg, you can use a tsp of baking powder if you prefer.

Method

- Grease a griddle or frying pan with olive oil and place dollops of the mixture on it, they only take a minute or so before needing flipping.
- Sometimes I make a couple of larger ones to have for lunches and we cover them with a mixed salad and salsa. It's a very flexible thing to have in the freezer, because they can be a snack or a meal at any time. For breakfast, I just have two small ones with a poached egg on top, but they are also nice with a bit of grated cheese sprinkled on them.

A really flexible way to eat veg, kids love them, good for any meal or as a snack if made very small. Lovely with a spicy salsa on top.
