Ingredients415g tin sweetcorn, cream style
1 cup self-raising flour (or cake flour & 1½ tsp baking powder) ½ tsp salt ¼ tsp black pepper 1 large egg, beaten 2 Tbsp chopped chives For Frying light olive oil or coconut oil butter freshly ground salt |
MethodPut the sweetcorn in a mixing bowl, sift in the flour, salt & pepper and add the beaten egg. With a wooden spoon, mix in the batter well & fold in the chives. Use the batter immediately; do not let it stand.
With equal quantities of olive oil & butter to lightly coat the bottom of a frying pan, and on a fairly high heat, shallow fry heaped serving spoons of batter to form fritters. Cook until bubbles appear & then turn over & brown the other side. Transfer the fritters to a warmed dish with paper towel to drain off any excess oil. The fritters will have to be made in batches and can be kept warm in a low oven. Season with salt and serve. |
Serving Suggestion
Slightly undercook the fritters and then brown them on the braai (barbeque) just before the meat is done.
