Achieving the perfect dry mixture is crucial for the consistency of your Savory Sweet Corn and Chive Fritter Loaf. Start by sifting together the flour, baking powder, salt, and any additional seasonings you choose to incorporate. Sifting not only breaks up clumps but also aerates the flour, allowing for a lighter loaf.

Ingredients
  

2 cups sweet corn (fresh or frozen)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cornmeal

1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a kick)

2 large eggs

1 cup buttermilk

1/4 cup melted butter (plus some for greasing)

1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese (optional)

1/4 cup crème fraîche or sour cream (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.

    Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cobs and set aside. If using frozen corn, thaws it slightly in a microwave or pan.

      Create the Dry Mix: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until well combined.

        Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter together until smooth.

          Mix Dry and Wet: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay!

            Fold in the Corn and Chives: Gently fold in the sweet corn and chopped chives. If you're adding cheese, fold that in as well.

              Transfer to Loaf Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

                Bake: Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                  Cool: Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Serve: Slice the loaf once cooled and serve warm with a dollop of crème fraîche or sour cream on top.
