Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Vegetarian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup sweetcorn, fresh or frozen
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients by draining the sweetcorn if using frozen, and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk these dry ingredients together to ensure even distribution.
- In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them with the milk until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour the egg and milk mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently to create a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the fritters tough.
- Fold in the sweetcorn kernels and crumbled feta cheese, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a thin layer of oil to prevent sticking.
- Using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop the batter onto the hot skillet, creating individual fritters. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs like chopped chives or parsley, and accompany with a side of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
Tips
- Moisture is the enemy of crispy fritters! Make sure to thoroughly drain and pat dry your sweetcorn to prevent soggy results.
- Don't overmix the batter – gentle folding keeps the fritters light and tender.
- Use a medium heat setting to ensure even cooking and that perfect golden-brown exterior.
- For extra flavor, try adding finely chopped herbs like chives or green onions to the batter.
- Keep the fritters warm in a low-temperature oven (200°F) while cooking subsequent batches to maintain their crispiness.
- Experiment with dipping sauces – a tangy yogurt or zesty salsa can elevate these fritters to the next level.
- If you're using frozen corn, let it come to room temperature before adding to the batter to ensure even cooking.
