Sweetcorn fritters

20 MINUTES | MAKES 16 | EASY

These are best served with a platter of different toppings so everyone can DIT (do it themselves) – and it’s less work for you, too. Try crispy bacon, guacamole, tomato salsa and sweet chilli sauce. You can also add different ingredients to the batter – crumbled feta, grated courgette and chilli flakes all work well.

tinned or frozen sweetcorn 400g

spring onions 8, finely chopped

plain flour 240g

eggs 4

coriander leaves chopped to make 4 tsp

sweet smoked paprika 4 tsp

whole milk 180ml

oil for frying

Put all the ingredients, except the oil, into a large bowl, along with a pinch of salt and pepper, and mix well into a batter.

Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Scoop 2 tbsp of batter into the pan to form a fritter (you can use a cookie cutter to keep the fritter in a neat circle, if you like) and cook it for 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through (you may need to cook for a few extra minutes if you are using frozen sweetcorn). Set aside on a plate lined with kitchen paper. Repeat with the remaining batter and serve.
