Sweetcorn Fritters Recipe
Calories 338kcal
Ingredients
- 3 teaspoons butter for frying
- 1 cup of flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ a teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 4 cups fresh sweetcorn cut from the cob
- ½ cup spring onions sliced
- ½ cup red pepper chopped fine
- ½ cup cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and make a well in the center.
- In a separate jug whisk together the eggs and milk.
- Add the egg mix to the dry ingredients and whisk to combine until the batter has no lumps.
- Combine sweetcorn, spring onion, pepper, and cilantro in a separate bowl.
- Add fresh ingredients to the batter, mixing to combine.
- Heat butter in a well seasoned cast iron skillet or a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- Drop in a tablespoon full of batter if you are making smaller fritters for a snack platter, or increase to two full tablespoons of batter for larger family size fritters for a meal.
- Fry until golden – it should take around 2 minutes per side – they are ready to turn when you see small bubbles forming on the upper side.
- To serve place fritters on a plate and place a blob of crème fraiche on each, then arrange a folded triangle of shaved ham, smoked salmon or a homemade beef patty on top, top with a twist of black pepper and decorate with some shaved cucumber.
Notes
To serve:
- ½ cup crème fraiche
- 12 slices shaved ham, smoked salmon, or 8 small 1½ ounce homemade beef patties (2 per person)
