Step 1

Combine the corn, flour and chives in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre. Add the milk and egg, and stir to combine. Stir in the crab meat. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Heat one-third of the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 6 heaped tablespoonfuls of the corn mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes each side or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a tray lined with paper towel. Repeat, in 2 more batches, with the remaining oil and corn mixture.
