Sweetcorn Fritters
Sweetcorn Fritters is another wonderfully versatile fritter recipe that is sure to be a hit with the whole family. I like a bit of chilli heat in these, but if your family is spice-averse, then simply omit the chilli flakes from the batter. If you are also making the Courgette Fritters (opposite), simply put both pans on the hob side-by-side and cook both types of fritter at the same time. Double bubble!

TO SERVE
The fritters are now ready to serve with your choice of accompaniments.
TO FREEZE
Set the fritters aside to cool to room temperature, then transfer them to a large, labelled freezer bag and freeze flat for up to 3 months.
TO REHEAT FROM FROZEN
These can be defrosted fully in the fridge before reheating or reheated directly from the freezer. If defrosted, place on a foil-lined baking tray and transfer to an oven preheated to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4 for 8 minutes, until crunchy and golden. If cooking from frozen, cook the same way but increase the cooking time to 12–14 minutes and ensure that the fritters are piping hot all the way through before serving.
