Sweet Corn Fritters

Sweetcorn Fritters make a fantastic light meal, snack or even lunchbox filler and are a firm family favourite, loved by children and adults alike.

They're quick and easy to make and can be served with lots of different additions to make them more gourmet.

Ingredients:

Makes approximately 6 fritters / 2 portions.

• 1/2 cup self-raising flour
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup soda water
• Salt and pepper
• 3/4 cup sweetcorn kernels (fresh or frozen)
• 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (I used basil, but mint is delicious too)
• Oil for frying
• 6 slices of streaky bacon
• Tomato relish
• Mayonnaise or aioli
• Fresh spinach leaves
• Feta cheese

Method:

• Whisk flour, egg and soda water together until there are no lumps.
• Add the sweetcorn and a generous grind of salt and pepper and mix together.
• Finely chop the basil and mix in.
• Set aside for about 10mins.
• Put a drizzle of oil into a fry pan and warm to a medium low heat.
• Scoop 1/4 cups of batter into the pan and gently fry. (Don't overcrowd the pan)
• When bubbling at the edges, flip over and gently squeeze down with a spatula.
• Remove from the pan onto a wire rack when firm to the touch.
• Fry the bacon and drain on paper towel.
• Plate in a stack, adding a layer of each ingredient in each layer.
