Ingredients
- 1 cup sweetcorn kernels (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped
- 2 spring onions finely sliced
- ½ cup self-raising flour
- ¼ cup cornmeal or polenta
- 2 large eggs (1 for the batter, 1 for frying)
- ¼ cup whole milk
- to taste salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 eggs for frying
- optional sour cream, lime wedges, chopped coriander for topping
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the sweetcorn, jalapeño, spring onions, self-raising flour, cornmeal, one egg, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir to form a thick batter.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, scoop heaping tablespoons of batter into the skillet and flatten slightly to form fritters.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- In the same skillet, crack the remaining eggs and fry them to your desired doneness.
- Top the fritters with the fried eggs. Optionally, garnish with sour cream, a squeeze of lime, and fresh coriander.
