Let’s make it.

Whisk flour, baking powder and salt together, then whisk in egg and milk.
Fold through drained corn; batter should drop slowly from a spoon.
Heat oil over medium heat and add tablespoons of batter, leaving space. Cook about three minutes per side.
Check centers are set and egg-containing batter reaches 71°C / 160°F. Drain briefly and serve; repeat with remaining batter.
