Corn fritter variations
The wonderful thing about having a simple base recipe is that you can add all sorts of other ingredients! You can ramp them up with bacon. I mean, who doesn’t love bacon! In the springtime when my fresh herbs are going bonkers, I add all sorts of combinations. One favourite, which I’m sure you’ll love, is fresh mint finely chopped and then add peas. Yum!
And guess what? If you need a Gluten Free version of corn fritters, it’s easy to make! It’s one of the most popular recipes in my Fresh and Gluten Free recipe book!

This version is a favourite of mine. Smoked salmon from Huon Salmon Farm, which is always so tasty and healthy. I added some rocket from my garden, and a sprinkle of smoked paprika on the salmon. If you don’t like salmon, then fresh ham off the bone is wonderful, or some leftover roast chicken! See, it’s that easy to change it up to whatever you like.
Corn fritters
Equipment
- mixing bowl
- non-stick fry pan
Ingredients
- 2 corn cobs, kernels sliced off use a tin of corn kernels if not available

Instructions

- Add the spring onions, quinoa and corn kernels. Mix well and season with salt and pepper
- Heat a non-stick fry pan, and put about a teaspoon of olive oil in.
- Cook three fritters for 1 – 2min each side (don't crowd the pan). When cooked, put on a plate to keep warm while you finish the other ones. *you can let them cool completely and freeze them at this stage. I usually make them about a heaped soup spoon of mixture each.

When you’ve made these fritters, post a comment or a photo. I’d love to see what your version is!!! Your ideas could inspire others to make the same combination.
Oh and there’s just a note. I have used tinned creamed corn to make these, because some people don’t like it with all whole kernels. You might need to add just a little more flour to make up for the extra liquid in the creamed corn.
