22/7/2007
Ingredients
| 1 cup | Flour |
| ½ tsp | Baking powder |
| 4 | Spring onions |
| ¼ cup | Fresh parsley |
| 410 g | Whole kernel sweetcorn |
| 1 | Ham steaks |
| 1 to taste | Salt & freshly ground pepper |
| 2 | Eggs |
| ¾ cup | Milk |
| 1 to serve | Chutney |
Directions
- Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl. Add sliced spring onions, chopped parsley, corn and ham. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Make a well in the centre, add eggs and milk, then stir to form a batter.
- Heat a frying pan, add a film of oil and drop heaped tablespoonfuls of the batter into the pan. Cook over a medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Keep made fritters warm in an oven heated to 160°C while you repeat the process and fry remaining batter into fritters. Serve fritters hot with chutney on the side.
Tip: Always fry a test fritter first to judge the consistency of the batter and the correct temperature for the pan, which should be over a medium heat. If the fritter mixture is too thick, thin it by adding a little more milk.
