Sweet Corn Fritters
Sweet corn fritters are a family favourite. Kids have these for lunch. Adults have these loaded with extras for weekend brunch. They feature in many cafes as a breakfast/brunch staple. They are delicious! This is a super easy recipe. Add extras to customise this recipe to your own.
Ingredients
- 410 g corn kernels, (1 tin can)
- ¼ cup spring onions, finely sliced (greens included)
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 large Eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 225 g tasty cheese, grated
- 2-3 tablespoons olive or canola oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine corn and spring onions with flour and baking powder. Mix until coated.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk eggs and milk together with salt and black pepper. Add to corn mixture. Fold in grated cheese.
- Heat 2-3 tablespoons oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Drop corn batter by 1/4 cup scoops into frying pan. Flatten and shape batter as it fries. You should be able to cook four fritters at a time.
- Cook 2-3 minutes on each side, until deep golden brown.
- Remove from frying pan onto a plate lined with paper towels. Serve with sour cream.
Notes
- Add 3/4 teaspoon of curry powder into the batter for something different. This is actually how I often make it (and why the photo above shows the fritters quite a dark yellow colour).
- Add either chopped fresh parsley, dill or spring onions into the batter for a fresh take on this recipe.
- Serve with bacon, homemade salsa, sliced avocado and sour cream.
