Summer Learning Journey - Wk1 Day 2 Bonus Activity

Summer Learning Journey 

Day 2 - It's all in a day's work - 1800's

Bonus Activity - Special Meals

Back then in the 1800s, Maori's ate a simple diet. They ate foods that they can catch in water or grow on land. They did not have access to a supermarket to buy food for meals like we do eg. Tomato sauce but they could grow Tomato's and mush them up.

Here is a pic of my favourite meal:

Corn fritters

It is like pancakes but with sweet corn in them. This is one of my favourites because I love corn, pikelets and pancakes, sometimes without corn but with peaches & ice cream!!!

Here's how to make it: 

Sweet Corn Fritters

Ingredients:

3/4 C flour

1 t baking powder 

1/2 t salt and pepper

1 egg

440g  tin cream style corn

2 T oil

To make:

Sift flour, baking powder, salt and pepper to taste, into a bowl. add egg, mixing to combine. Stir in sweet corn. Heat oil in a frying pan. Drop tablespoons full of corn mixture into pan. Cook until golden then turn and cook other side. Once cooked let sit on a plate with a paper towel to remove excess oil. Serve hot. 

I like to eat these with tomato sauce or dip into sweet chilly sauce, with a side of salad and oven baked roasties.

Enjoy!!!
