100 g mature Cheddar cheese, grated
2 T Italian parsley, chopped
1 T chives, chopped

Cook's note: Keep a supply of frozen sweetcorn in your freezer for emergencies like a sudden need for these moreish fritters – perfect for pleasing the family on a Friday night (just ask Abigail Donnelly), or feeding to guests who pop in for drinks over the weekend.
