Season and blend until fully mixed (but not too pasty). Form into balls.<\/p>\n<p>Put the flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs into three separate bowls. Season the flour with salt, pepper and cayenne, and roll the balls in the flour (shaking off any excess), then the egg, then the breadcrumbs. It&#8217;s a right messy job but completely worth it.<\/p>\n<p>Now pour 4 inches of oil into a large saucepan and place over a medium-high heat. After 10 minutes check that it&#8217;s hot enough by dropping in a little bread. It should sizzle immediately. Fry the rissoles, a few at a time for 3 minutes on each side, then remove and drain on kitchen towel and keep warm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scalloped corn<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jamesramsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/photo15.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-537\" title=\"photo\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jamesramsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/photo15-e1261917663325.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.jamesramsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/photo15-e1261917663325.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.jamesramsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/photo15-e1261917663325-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This recipe came from my American grandma, and we have eaten it for Christmas every year for as long as I can remember.
