Ingredients
- 2 x 420g cans of corn kernels
(not creamed corn) - ½ cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup self-raising flour
- ½ cup grated cheddar cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon chilli powder (optional)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 handful of fresh herbs, chopped (optional)
- Cooking oil
Note: If you only have plain flour, that’s OK. The fritters won’t puff up as much, but they’ll still be yummy!
Extras
For more flavour, add:
1 carrot or zucchini, grated
Cheddar cheese can be replaced with:
½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
To serve
Sweet chilli sauce or spicy tomato sauce
Sliced avocado
Lets get cooking
Step 1
In a big bowl, break open the eggs. Add the milk, salt, pepper and chilli powder and whisk until everything is mixed well.
Step 2
Drain the water out of the cans of corn. Add the corn
and the cheese to the egg mixture and mix well.
Step 3
If you are using any of the optional ingredients (onion, herbs, carrot or zucchini), add them to the mixture.
Step 4
Gradually add the self-raising flour and mix through.
If the mixture is too stiff, add a little more milk.
Step 5
Heat about 2 tablespoons cooking oil in a frying pan
(use enough to cover the base of the pan with a thin layer oil).
Step 6
When the oil is hot, drop large spoonfuls of mixture
into the pan. When the fritters have browned on one side (3-4 minutes), flip them and cook until the other side is also golden brown.
Step 7
Remove from the frying pan. Before you cook the rest of the fritters, add some more oil to the base of the frying pan.
