Sweetcorn Fritters
Serve with toasted muffins.
Ingredients
- 200g can sweetcorn, drained
- 4 tbsp cornflour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp sunflower oil
For the scrambled eggs
- 4 eggs
- 25g butter, plus extra for spreading
- 2 tbsp double cream
- 2 muffins, split
- Few sliced spring onions
Tools
- Kitchen Machine
- Processor
- Liquidiser
Method
- Tip the sweetcorn into the liquidiser followed by the cornflour, baking powder and egg. Season with salt and pepper, then blend on a low speed of 2 or 3 for 5-8 seconds to form a chunky batter with bits of sweetcorn in it. Break the eggs for scrambling into a bowl and give them a good whisk.
- Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, then carefully pour in 4 separate ladlefuls of the sweetcorn batter. Cook for 3-4 minutes, turning once, until puffed up and lightly golden, then transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper while you do the second batch, adding more oil if necessary.
- As soon as the fritters are done, melt the butter for the scrambled eggs in a medium saucepan. Pour in the eggs and cook over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring until lightly scrambled (the eggs should be soft and creamy at this stage, not dry). Immediately remove from the heat and spoon in the cream, then season with a little salt and pepper and stir to combine. The eggs should have as soft creamy texture.
- To serve, toast the muffins and spread with butter. Divide the fritters and muffins between 2 warmed plates, spoon the scrambled eggs on top of the muffins and sprinkle over the spring onions.
