Corn fritters
This dish can be a great side dish for fried chicken fillet or grilled legs. Separately, you can serve a vegetable salad. Fritters are also tasty as an independent dish - serve them with fresh sour cream or cream sauce.
You will need:

Pour kefir into a deep bowl, add a slightly beaten egg, salt and soda to it. Mix everything and add pre-sifted flour in portions. Then put canned corn in the dough and mix the mixture until completely homogeneous. Peel hot peppers, finely chop and add to the dough.
Before placing the dough in a pan, mix it - the grains settle to the bottom of the bowl.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan. Spoon small portions of the dough with a spoon. Fry the pancakes until golden brown, gently turn them over to the other side and continue cooking. Check the degree of baking of products by piercing them with a fork - there should not be traces of dough on the teeth. Put the finished pancakes on a plate and keep warm until served.
