In summer time I love making quick, fresh and healthy dinners! Corn fritters are something I love at brunch or dinner time and recently I found a great recipe that I thought I’d share :)
These savoury morsels are quite the treat – but guilt free!
Ingredients:
(Serves 1-2 people)
Fresh sweet corn kernels
1 egg + 1 egg white
1 heaped tbsp. self-raising flour
Salt & pepper
Olive oil for frying
Optional add-ins: capsicum (peppers), spring onions, chilli or anything else that takes your fancy!
1 egg + 1 egg white

I was inspired to make this recipe because I’d purchased some lovely fresh corn from the Portobello markets but you can also use canned (not creamed!) or frozen corn but personally I think you can’t beat FRESH corn off the cob :)
Start by removing the kernels from 2 large heads of sweet corn with a sharp knife….
Put them into a mixing bowl with a whole egg, a little salt & pepper and 1 heaped tbsp of self-raising flour….
plus I opted to add some more colour to my corn fritters in the form of red capsicum…
Beat the separate egg white until stiff….
Mix the corn, egg, flour, capsicum together and gently fold in the whipped egg white into the mixture.
(Be careful not to over-mix the batter because this will result in heavy cakes)
Drizzle a little olive oil into a nonstick frying pan. When the oil is warm, place large tablespoons of the batter in the pan and leave for a couple of minutes to brown lightly…
Flip them over with a palette knife and cook the other side. Lift out, drain on kitchen paper, then eat immediately. I served mine with a small rocket salad on the side and a big dollop of avocado mash on top!
(Avocado mash: roughly mashed avocado, chopped coriander and parsley & some lemon/lime juice)
Let me tell you, these were truly delicious, filling and super easy to make! For an even more yummier meal you could add some cooked rashers of bacon or slices of grilled haloumi and roast vine tomatoes. Have you tried corn fritters before? If not, I think you should give it a go…..it looks tasty doesn’t it?!
Bon appetit ;) xoxo
Hi Ros, love the blog. I have been reading for a while now. Yesterday I had these in a cafe with salad, avo, mango salsa and poached eggs… Amazing I will use this recipe to recreate at home. Hope over for a read on my blog if you fancy ohmygodisthatfromtiffany.wordpress.com I think we are both Tiffany lovers but you went NZ to uk and I went uk to aus so reversed a bit x
I’m trying to diet and cut down on certain foods. This sounds really yummy and simple. Possibly make this for dinner tonight :) Nom LaceyLoves
