Corn fritters

Lydia Nuttall
This is the base recipe for simple corn fritters which is so easy to modify. I've added all sorts of things like spinach, kale, bacon and capsicum. And they can be easily made gluten free!

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • non-stick fry pan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 corn cobs, kernels sliced off use a tin of corn kernels if not available
  • 1 cup plain flour for GF use rice flour, cornflour or a specific GF flour mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk swap to almond or coconut milk if lactose intolerant
  • 1 cup quinoa 1/2 cup uncooked - follow cook instructions on packet
  • 1 spring onion white and green parts finely sliced

Instructions
 

  • Steam or microwave corn kernels for 3 minutes until just soft. Let cool completely. (you won't need to do with if using tinned corn.)
  • In a large mixing bowl, make the batter by mixing the flour, milk and eggs until smooth.
  • 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.
