Ingredients
- 1 cup sweetcorn (fresh or canned)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs

Ingredients
Sweetcorn Fritters Ingredients
- 1 cup sweetcorn kernels (fresh or canned, drained)
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Vegetable oil for frying (about 1/4 cup)
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetcorn kernels, flour, eggs, milk, and salt. Stir everything together until the mixture forms a thick, well-combined batter with no dry flour remaining.
- Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan to cover the bottom about 1/4 inch deep. Heat the oil over medium heat until it is hot but not smoking.
- Fry the fritters: Using a spoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crisp.
- Drain and serve: Remove the fritters from the pan using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm as a snack or side dish.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add chopped herbs like chives or parsley to the batter.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to get a crispy exterior without absorbing too much oil.
- These fritters can be served with sour cream, chutney, or your favorite dipping sauce.
- Use gluten-free flour to make the recipe gluten-free if needed.
