- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk

- Use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor and texture.
- Be sure to dice the ham into small pieces so that it distributes evenly throughout the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can make the corn bites tough.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the dry ingredients to the corn mixture and stir until well combined.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vegetable oil.
