NON Keto Recipes!!  (APP, Entree, and Desserts )

Corn Fritters the quick and easy way !! ( Celebrated July 16th ) 

Ingredients

1 can corn kernels (about 1 1/2 cups, drained)—fresh or frozen corn works too; my granny always said fresh is best but honestly, tinned is just fine.

2 eggs—if you’re out, one large egg and a splash of milk does the trick in a pinch

1/2 cup plain flour (all-purpose)—you can use wholewheat if you’re feeling healthy. Self-raising works too, just skip the baking powder.

1/4 cup milk—any kind! I often use oat if it’s hanging around

1/2 small onion, finely chopped—sometimes I swap this for chives or spring onion, whatever’s wishing not to be wasted in the fridge

1/2 teaspoon baking powder—optional, but makes them fluffier (I skip it if I use self-raising flour)

1/2 teaspoon salt (give or take—sometimes I barely sprinkle it if the corn’s really sweet)

Black pepper, a few grinds—I tend to go heavy handed, you do you

Oil, for frying—vegetable, canola, sunflower, even a splash of olive oil now and then

Instructions

Toss the corn (drained), eggs, flour, milk, onion, baking powder, salt, and pepper into a big bowl. I know some folks like to beat their eggs beforehand but I just whack them straight in. Mix till it’s all just barely combined—don’t overthink it! The batter will look a bit lumpy; that’s normal.

Heat a splash of oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Not too hot, or the outside will cook way too quick and burn before the inside sets (ask me how I know…)

Drop heaping spoonfuls of batter into the pan, gently pressing them to flatten. Roughly two tablespoons per fritter does the trick—about the size of an Aussie fifty-cent coin (if you know, you know). Don’t crowd the pan. I do mine in two rounds usually.

Fry 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp. If your first batch is a touch pale, just leave the next ones in a smidge longer. I often sneak a test piece here. Quality control, right?

Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel—this helps keep them crisp and not all soggy. But if you forget, honestly, nobody cares. You can use anything for Dipping but we love a good Buttermilk Ranch with ours! Try different Sauces if you would like to .
