Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen sweetcorn kernels
  • 4 bacon strips
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons chopped spring onions or chives
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Cooking oil (vegetable, canola, or sunflower oil), for frying

Instructions

  1. Cook the Bacon: Cook the bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crispy and browned. Transfer them to paper towels to drain excess grease, then chop roughly into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until smooth. Add the flour, salt, and pepper, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the sweetcorn kernels, chopped bacon, and spring onions or chives.
  3. Fry the Fritters: Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Spoon heaping tablespoons of batter into the pan and flatten slightly with the back of the spoon. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Drain and Serve: Remove the fritters from the pan onto paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve warm with desired dipping sauces or toppings.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep fritters light and fluffy.
  • Maintain medium heat during frying for golden, crispy outsides without burning.
  • Drain excess oil using paper towels after frying.
  • Cook and drain bacon thoroughly to avoid watery batter and soggy fritters.
  • Using fresh corn kernels yields the best texture and natural sweetness.
