Steps

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in the frying pan. Add the onion. Cook for 2 minutes.

  3. Put the flour, egg and baking powder in the large bowl. Mix well.
  4. Slowly add the milk. Mix until the mixture is smooth.
  5. Add the cooked onion, sweet corn and spring onions to the bowl.

   Cooking Tips

  • To test if the oil in the pan is ready, drop in a corn kernel to see if it sizzles. If it burns quickly, the oil is too hot.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan with too many fritters, as it will be difficult to flip them.
  • Enjoy the fritters dipped in your favourite sauce. Tomato ketchup and Worcestershire sauce go particularly well!

Nutrition Advice

  • Just like fresh milk, evaporated milk provides vitamin A, vitamin D and calcium for healthy bones. Half a cup of evaporated milk is equivalent to 1 serving of fresh milk. Choose skimmed, 1% or 2% evaporated milk for a low-fat option.
  • Sweet corn is a good source of zeaxanthin and lutein, which are good for eye health. It can be added to soups, salads and casseroles for an added shot of fibre and protein.
