To Make the Vegan Corn Fritters
In a large bowl, place the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt and pepper. Mix to combine.
Add the egg replacement, the vegan cheddar paste and the soy milk. Mix until just combined.
Finally add the corn kernels, the jalapeño and the chives. Mix to combine.
Heat a deep fat fryer filled with sunflower oil to 165c (or 330f) or alternatively fill a heavy saucepan with around 3 inches of sunflower oil.
Once the oil is hot, carefully drop heaped teaspoon sized portions of the corn batter into the fryer. Working in batches of around 6-8 fritters, fry until golden brown then remove from the fryer and place on a tray lined with kitchen roll to absorb any excess oil.
Repeat until all the batter has been used. Serve with your favourite hot sauce, vegan mayo or even straight up ketchup!
