New Zealand Corn Fritters Recipe


Serves: 4

Ingredients Required
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water (more if needed)
  • 1 cup (125g) plain flour100mls Milk
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt and pepper
  • 1 can (410g) creamed corn
  • 2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying

Corn Fritters Recipe Method
Prep: 5 mins | Cook: 5 mins
  1. In a medium bowl, lightly beat egg with a little water and the milk. Sift in flour and baking powder, add salt and pepper and stir - adding water if needed - to achieve a medium batter. Make sure the mixture is not too thin. Add the can of cream corn, season and stir.
  2. Heat half the oil in a frying pan to a medium heat and add spoonfuls of the batter in the pan. Flip the fritters when they start to bubble on the top - 1-2 minutes but test they are cooked through before removing them. You may need to add a little more oil after each lot is taken out of the pan as they absorb it quite well.
  3. Enjoy!
