Cheesy Corn Fritters

This is the first post of the new year, and also my first post of food targeted to toddlers.  I was skeptical of this recipe.  I didn't have whole milk or cheddar cheese, so lower-fat versions of 1% milk and mozzarella cheese had to do.  The batter was very runny (thin), and I knew they wouldn't turn out like the picture in the cookbook.  Anyhow, they did turn out-- mine turned out like pancakes for lunch.  They aren't very flavorful, but they were eaten-- kinda-- she liked the corn!

Recipe:
1 egg
generous 3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup canned corn kernels, without salt or sugar, drained
4 T grated cheddar cheese
1tsp snipped fresh chives
2 tsp sunflower oil, for pan-frying

Whisk together 1 egg and 3/4 cup milk
Stir in 3/4 cup flour and 1/2 tsp baking powder
Add in 1/3 cup drained corn, 4 T (1/4 cup) cheese, and chives
Drop by spoonfuls into heated skillet, cook for 1-2 minutes
 Flip over with a spatula and cook about a minute longer until done
