Hello Lover of Good Food,

This was the song that my friend made me back in 2019 - it felt like my destiny to make corn fritters when I had a catering business. It is now my destiny to share the recipe so everyone can make them for themselves.

Children love them, adults love them, everyone loves them.

When I was catering I cooked thousands of corn fritters Being one of the most popular items on my canapé menu for parties, weddings, you name it, people always ordered them. And to be honest they were not my favourite thing to make, but I still oozed love into them. In the last year of making them for gigs and retreats etc my friend created the song above which made it easier for me to make them.

Now it is your turn to make them. They are actually lovely to make but I would have to make 200 at a time if not more and that was really a chore.

Here is the recipe so you all can make them for yourselves. They freeze super well and I hope you enjoy them as much as so many people have, who ordered them from me in years gone by.

Corn Fritters

Be sure to squash the corn kernels a little with a potato masher or even with a hand held stick blender as if the corn kernel stays whole it can pop in the frying pan giving you a nasty fright and on occasion the corn kernel can jump out of the pan and burn you. Don’t let this put you off just remember to squash them a bit and you’ll be safe.

The kernels of 3 corn cobs

4 kaffir lime leaves placed in a spice grinder and ground to a powder (you can also do by cutting finely with a knife)

1 cup besan flour

⅔ cup brown rice flour

1 tsp baking powder 

1½ tbsp chia seeds soaked in 3 tbsp soy milk

Up to ⅔ cup soy milk (you may need more depending on how thick your flours have been ground)

Salt to taste – start with 1½ tsp 

Pepper 

1 chilli (optional) 

Sunflower or avocado oil for frying 

Place everything except the oil in a bowl and mix. You want a batter consistency, not too thick and not too thin, just right, like a thick pancake mix.

Shallow fry them in a frying pan. Place a layer of oil in the pan. Start with 2 tbsp of oil and fry each fritter until brown on one side then flip over and fry until brown on that side. Serve with a lovely home made blueberry chilli sauce or any other sweet and spicy sauce.
