Everyone’s Favourite Corn Fritters
Simple to make and great for lunchboxes
In our household, corn fritters are an absolute favourite.
They are so easy to whip up and can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, snacks or even dinner! I usually make a big batch so I can pop some in the freezer to be used in lunchboxes or for quick meals when we are super busy.
You will need a large bowl, a wooden spoon, a frying pan and a spatula.
This recipe makes roughly 12 fritters, depending on how big you make them. The best part is it only takes 20ish minutes before you will be enjoying these little mouthfuls of deliciousness!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of self-raising flour.
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder.
- 1 egg.
- 3/4 cup of milk (or enough to make a thick batter consistency).
- 2 cans of creamed corn.
- 1 can of corn kernels (or a cup of frozen corn kernels).
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Butter or oil for frying.
Optional extras:
I love to add extras to this basic recipe and experiment with different flavours.
- Grated zucchini and/or carrot.
- Baby spinach and parmesan.
- Finely shredded broccoli and chilli.
- Peas.
- Fetta.
Method:
- Just throw all the ingredients together in a bowl and mix! Add just enough milk to create a thick batter consistency.
- Pop the frying pan on medium-high heat.
- Add oil or butter.
- Spoon mixture into hot frying pan.
- Once bubbles have formed, flip the fritter over.
- Serve and enjoy!
Tips:
Squeeze excess moisture out of the grated vegetables before adding them to the mixture.
The thicker the batter the thicker the fritter…so change the consistency to suit your preference!
Serve with:
- Avocado, sweet chilli sauce and some Greek yoghurt or sour cream.
- Poached eggs and bacon (or just the eggs).
- Rocket and shaved parmesan with a squeeze of lemon.
- On a bed of baby spinach with salsa.
- Beetroot relish.
- Haloumi and poached eggs
My kids love these in their lunch boxes with some sweet-chilli sauce or beetroot relish.
They are so versatile you could serve them with anything your stomach desires.
My personal favourite is avocado, beetroot relish and haloumi.
Dig in and enjoy!
