    I made this and would recommend not putting in as much onion as it was quite strong. Otherwise a great brunch recipe especially with the salsa and crisp bacon.

      Try rinsing the onion underneath cold water before putting it in the mix. That takes the bite out of the raw onion. I really think the recipe needs this much.

    Allyj59 Absolutely delicious. My friend served this and I enjoyed it so much she directed me to this website to obtain the recipe. I am looking forward to cooking them for lunch today.

    Just delicious. I doubled the recipe and used 2 x 440gr tins of super sweet corn kernels (well drained) instead of fresh and they turned out perfectly.

    Really tasty - we only had tinned sweetcorn which added quite a bit of moisture to the mix, so I added some cornflour and it worked fine.

    This recipe is also in Bills Open Kitchen on p. 30-31. The picture slightly different but the same recipe and very good. In the other book it's called "Simple Sweetcorn Cakes with Avocado Salsa". Same ingredients but just as nice. I halve the onion in mine and yes, you can use the sweet corn kernels well drained. Saves a lot of hassling around.

    I love this recipe. It is one of my favourite dinners in summer, or lunch on the weekend, or to take to the park for a picnic. I also do it with tinned corn to make it easy on myself, and, as long as I drain it well, I can't really tell the difference. My boyfriend likes them chunkier so I add less corn to the mixer. This is similar to 'cachapas' which you find in Venezuela. They do it without the coriander and onion, and make them much bigger (about the size of a crepe in diameter, but the same thickness as these) and eat them folded in half with a stringy white cheese called Telita in the middle. AMAZING.
