re: Danielle
I made this last night and it was awesome but I used more eggs and more corn meal because i didnt think it would stay together - next time i would stick to the recipe tho. use uncooked prawns. corn flour is different to corn meal, which is also known as maize meal. it's coarser than corn flour and yellow. you could probably use breadcrumbs if you can't find corn flour.

Hamburgers
Be careful not to over-handle hamburger patties when you are moulding them. The more you touch them the more compact the meat will become. This will result in a tough, dense hamburger.
