Why you’ll love these Corn Fritters

They are trulyeasy! A perfect recipe that your kids can help to create.
And made with one bowl so clean up is a breeze.
These fritters are made from simple ingredients you will likely already have in your cupboard or fridge.
They are light, a bit fluffy and are reallytasty with pops of sweetness from the corn.

One of the best things about these Corn Fritters is that they come together all in the one bowl, so not only are they quick and simple to make, they are also really quick to clean up after!

And this is a great fritter recipe to make with your kids. Younger children can help withmeasuring ingredients,cracking eggs and stirring the mixture. Older children could help with chopping the spring onions and chives (or using scissors to cut them), grating the cheese and even cooking them on the pan.

Ingredients and Substitutions

This Corn Fritter recipe is made using simple, easy to source ingredients. This recipe can easily be doubled if you are feeding a crowd.

Self-raising flour – helps make the fritters light and fluffy and adds structure. You could also use wholemeal self-raising flour though they’ll be a little denser. If you don’t have self-raising flour you can substitute with 1 cup plain flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Eggs – a great source of protein, they bind the ingredients and make them light and fluffy.
Creamed Corn – this is stocked in pretty much all supermarkets in Australia and New Zealand. If you don’t have this locally,you could make your own creamed cornor replace with 1/3 cup of corn kernels and a tablespoon of sour cream or ricotta.
Corn – I use corn on the cob for this recipe. I prepare the corn on the cob by blanching then cutting the kernels off the cob. If you don’t have fresh corn I recommend canned corn kernels which I find closer in taste to fresh corn. In my opinion, frozen corn does not quite taste as nice as fresh, but you could use if that’s what you have available.
Cheese – I use a tasty cheddar cheese for this recipe but you could use a feta cheese.
Spring Onions – also known as green onions, these are sweeter and have less bite than other onions. I will substitute forred onionsand you could also use brown onions.
Chives – I love the flavour of chives but youcan also substitute for parsleyor just omit.
Salt and Pepper – enhances the flavour of the fritters.
Olive oil – for oiling the pan so they don’t stick while frying.

How to make Corn Fritters

In a medium sized bowl add in the flour and eggs and whisk together into a smooth thick paste forms and all the flour is incorporated. Then add in the creamed corn, and corn kernels.

Add in the cheese, spring onions, chives, salt and pepper. Mix together with a spoon or spatula until well combined. Heat a pan over a medium-low heat and add in a small amount of oil. I use around 1 teaspoon of olive oil for this recipe.

Spoon the mixture in the preheated pan and cook for two to three minutes or until the small bubbles begin to appear and the underside is golden.

Flip the fritter, then cook for another two minutes or until cooked through. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

Serving Suggestions

These Corn Fritters are delicious for breakfast with an avocado and tomato salsa and bacon. You can also serve with a side salad to make a more substantial meal. You can also pop these Corn Fritters in the lunchbox for school lunches. I do prefer them warm straight from the pan as the texture is lighter but they are nice enough cold too.

Storage Instructions

Once cooked these fritters should be kept in the fridge in an airtight container. They will keep for three to four days. They also freeze well. I freeze flat on a lined baking tray. When frozen through you can transfer into an airtight bag or container for up to 6 months.

Should the olive oil go in the mixture or just used to cook them in?
