Perfect for snacking or as a side dish, these corn fritters take just 15 minutes to make and taste incredible!
They have a hint of Thai flavour from the fish sauce and are wonderful served with a sweet chilli sauce for dipping, but they’d equally work well with a range of other dishes too.
I like to make a batch for us to snack on while watching TV – they are so quick and easy to make that they’re an excellent lazy day snack.
The Ingredients
- Flour, eggs – these are the ingredients that make the batter, just like with pancakes. Use plain flour and medium or large eggs.
- Caster sugar – you could use palm sugar if you like, or omit completely.
- Fish sauce – fish sauce adds a nice depth of flavour, but if you don’t fancy it you can switch with half a teaspoon of salt.
- Garlic – fresh garlic is best, but you could use half a teaspoon of garlic powder.
- Sweetcorn – tinned sweetcorn works really well. You could switch for defrosted frozen sweetcorn.
- Sunflower oil – for frying. You could also use vegetable oil.
- Sweet chilli sauce – for dipping, optional.
