Method
- 1
Tip half the sweetcorn into a small bowl and crush it roughly with the back of a fork. This stops whole kernels, which are a choking risk for under 4s.
- 2
In a bowl, mix the flour and baking powder, then stir in the eggs to make a thick batter.
- 3
Fold in the courgette, all the sweetcorn, the cheddar and chives.
- 4
Heat the oil in a large non stick pan over a medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of mixture into the pan, flatten gently and cook for 3 minutes on each side until golden.
6 min - 5
Drain on kitchen paper and cool for a few minutes before serving.
- 6
Cut into strips for small hands. They keep 2 days in the fridge and are fine from 12 months, because of the cheese.
