- In a medium bowl, whisk the egg and water together. 
- Stir in the pancake mix until you get a smooth, spoonable batter — not too thick, not too runny. 
- Fold through the corn, cheese, bacon, onion and garlic powders. 
- Season to taste 
- Heat oil or butter in a frying pan over medium heat. 
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes each side, until golden brown and puffed. 
- Keep warm on a paper-towel-lined plate while you finish the batch. 
- I like to serve three medium-sized fritters stacked on top of each other. 
- Top with the whipped sour cream and garnish with spring onions.
