Ingredients
- 200 grams Sweetcorn (canned, drained or fresh)
- 80 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 large Egg
- 60 milliliters Skim milk
- 2 whole Spring onions (finely chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Chili flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and chili flakes (if using). Mix well.
Step 2
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg and skim milk until combined.
Step 3
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 4
Fold in the sweetcorn and finely chopped spring onions until evenly distributed in the batter.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 6
Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of batter for each fritter and drop it onto the skillet, flattening slightly with the back of a spoon.
Step 7
Cook each fritter for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Repeat with the remaining batter, ensuring the skillet is greased as needed between batches.
Step 9
Serve warm with a side of fresh salad, low-fat sour cream, or a squeeze of lime for extra zest. Enjoy!
