Ingredients
4 oz plain flour
1 small egg
8 fl milk
6 oz tin of sweetcorn, drained
1 salt and pepper
Directions
Blend the flour with the egg and the milk to make a smooth batter,
then leave to stand for 20 minutes.
Add the sweetcorn, season and stir. It should have the consistency of
double cream.
To cook, pour a tablespoon at a time into the pan with the hot oil in
which you have cooked the chicken. Turn the fritters after one or two
minutes so both sides are golden and speckled with brown. Add the
fritters to the dish with the chicken and bananas and serve with
gravy and plenty of mashed potatoes.

The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of meal recipes far back into the far past, in fact as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these old cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Moving on, there are some recipe books which appeared in the fourteenth century - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are unconnected to the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of food cooked for the upper classes of the time. During the following few centuries, the wealthy families of the West competed to offer the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the 1900s, cooking books were in great demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and having more money to spend. The revolution that is television brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
