  • 1/2 cup chopped spring onions or regular onion
  • 1/2 cup corn (fresh, frozen or canned)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella)

🔥 Instructions:
  1. Prep the veggies:

    Scoop heaping tablespoons of batter into the pan, flattening slightly with the back of a spoon. Cook 3–4 mins per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Drain & serve:
    Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve warm with your fave dip!
