Place sausages under a preheated grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and cooked through.

Make Fritters: Place in a large bowl the flour, polenta, salt, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda. Mix together and make a well in the centre. Add the eggs and using a whisk gently combine the eggs with the dry ingredients. Slowly add the buttermilk and whisk until you have a smooth batter.

Add the melted butter and sweetcorn.

Heat a little oil in a pan. Place a large spoonful of the mixture into the hot pan. The mixture will spread slightly and then set and brown. Turn over after 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides. Cook the mixture in batches and keep the ‘fritters’ warm.

Serve the sausages with fritters and a good glug of maple syrup.
