Ingredients
- 2x 240g cans corn, drained (2 x 14 oz cans)
- ¼ cup cornflour or cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cornflake crumbs
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ teaspoon bicarb soda (or baking soda)
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients together: In a large bowl add 2x 240g cans corn, drained , ¼ cup cornflour or cornstarch, 2 tablespoons cornflake crumbs, 1 large egg, ¼ cup milk, ¼ teaspoon bicarb soda (or baking soda), ¼ teaspoon sea salt, and ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika, stirring with a spoon until combined.
- Preheat the Pan: Heat ¼ cup vegetable oil in a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the batter. You can test the heat by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and float to the surface.
- Cook the Fritters: Drop a large spoonful of the batter into the hot oil, pressing them down slightly to flatten them into small patties. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 1-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Notes
- Use a High Heat: Preheat your skillet or pan over medium-high heat before adding the fritter batter. A hot pan helps create a crispy exterior.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Cook fritters in batches. Overcrowding the pan lowers the temperature and can make the fritters soggy.
- Don’t Flip Too Soon: Let the fritters cook undisturbed until the edges start to look golden and crispy. Flipping too early can prevent them from crisping up properly.
