Made with only a handful of simple, low-cost ingredients, these deliciously crunchy Cheesy Corn Fritters can be on the table in less than 15 minutes.
Ingredients
- 300 g corn kernels, fresh, tinned or frozen (see note 1)
- 75 g self-raising flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 60 g freshly grated cheddar
- 1 tbsp full-cream (whole) milk
- 2 tbsp roughly chopped fresh dill
- 2 spring onions (scallions), finely sliced
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- Olive oil spray
TO SERVE
- 4 tbsp sour cream
Instructions
- Make the fritter mixture – Place the corn, flour, salt, eggs, cheese, milk (see note 2), dill and spring onion in a medium-sized bowl and combine.
- Cook the fritters – Heat a large heavy-based frying pan over medium heat. Drizzle with olive oil so the base of the pan is evenly coated.
- Spoon ¼ cup of the corn mixture into the pan and spray the top with olive oil spray before using your spatula to gently flatten the mixture into a flat, circular shape.
- Cook 2–3 fritters at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 6–8 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.
- Serve – Serve the fritters with the sour cream.
Notes
Note 1 – Fresh corn is the tastiest and gives the best “pop” texture when you bite into the fritters. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before use. Use a scrunched-up paper towel to dry thawed frozen or canned corn prior to use.
Note 2 – If the mixture is too thick, you can thin it out with a little extra milk.
MAKE AHEAD
You can refrigerate the fritters for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw completely in the fridge overnight or allow to thaw for 30 minutes on the counter before use. Reheat in the microwave or toaster. They can also be eaten cold.LEFTOVERS
