Ingredients

3 servings
  • Corn1 small can, drained
  • Spinach1 handful
  • Garlic1, crushed
  • Scallion1, chopped
  • All-purpose flour50 g
  • Baking powder1/2 teaspoon
  • Egg1
  • Milk50 ml
  • Oil1 teaspoon

Steps

  1. 01

    Pulse all the ingredients except the oil in a food processor until fairly but not completely smooth.

  2. 02

    Heat a little oil in a frying pan until hot and dollop four spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan leaving space around them. Fry for just under 1 min on each side until lightly golden. When you flip the fritter, flatten with a spatula to ensure even cooking the whole way through. Cook in three batches, placing the cooked fritters on a plate covered with kitchen roll. Serve warm.

  3. 03

    You can freeze any fritters you don’t need. Lay them on a baking sheet, then once frozen, transfer to a freezer bag. Reheat the frozen fritters in the oven (180C/160fan/gas 4) for around 10 mins until piping hot. Allow to cool to lukewarm before serving.
