Dry ingredients: add the all purpose flour, dried chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper to a large mixing bowl. Use a wooden spoon to stir to combine.
Wet ingredients: make a small well in the centre of the flour mixture and pour in the whisked egg, followed by the milk and stir to combine.
Ham, corn and cheese: add the ham, corn and cheese to the wet batter and then stir to combine.
Cook fritters: place a large frying pan onto the stove top and turn the heat to high then add the olive oil. Wait until the oil has heated through. Then use an ice cream scoop to spoon the batter into portions and drop this into the bottom of the pan. Working in batches cook 2-3 fritters at a time. First cook one side for 3-4 minutes and then use a slotted spoon to flip the fritters to the other side. Then let this side also cook for 3-4 minutes. Once cooked use a slotted spoon to lift the fritters up and out of the pan and place on a paper towel lined chopping board. Note 2
Serve and garnish: provide the Mustard Yogurt Sauce (optional) for serving as well as some lemon wedges, black pepper, parsley and chopped chives to garnish.

Note 1 - All purpose flour: this is plain flour. No need to sift and no need to add baking powder to it. You can use the equivalent amount of gluten free if you wish to.
Note 2- Cooking the fritters: you can use the back of the ice cream scoop to gently push the scooped portion of wet fritter batter down and into a round shape after adding it to the bottom of the pan.
Serving size: this recipe will make 12 fritters. The portion size of 6 has been worked out using 2 fritters per person.
