Top cooking double corn fritters (6,4)

I believe the answer is:

cordon bleu

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'top cooking' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'double corn fritters' is the wordplay.
'fritters' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'double'+'corn'='doublecorn'
'doublecorn' is an anagram of 'CORDON BLEU'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cordon bleu that I've seen before include "distinguished chef" , "Highest class (cooking)" , "High class chef" , "Old bouncer (anag)" , "Of the highest culinary order" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
