Ingredients
- 150g corn
- 1 egg, beaten
- Salt and pepper
- ½ tsp chilli flakes (optional)
- 150g flour
- 125ml Benna fresh milk
- 100g Pecorino, grated

- Add the flour and mix well.
- Add the milk and the pecorino.
- Add the fresh herbs and mix well.
- In a deep frying pan melt the butter with the olive oil and when the fat is hot add separate tbsps of batter to the pan, leaving plenty of space between each on so that they don't stick together.
- Fry for a couple of mins until golden, flip over and fry the other side until golden.
- Remove from the pan and place on kitchen paper for a few mins to drain excess fat.
- Serve with potato wedges and pita bread.
