Corn Fritters (v)

Ingredients

• 145 g corn kernels, fresh or drained from a can
• 1 egg
• 120 ml full-fat milk
• 85 g plain flour
• ½ tsp baking powder
• 1 pinch salt and freshly ground pepper
• 2 tbs butter
• 4 tbs vegetable oil
• 4 poached eggs and 4 slices of lox (or smoked salmon), for serving (optional)

Directions

1. Make Batter: Whisk egg and milk. Gradually whisk in flour and baking powder until smooth. Stir in corn; season with salt and pepper.
2. Heat Oil: Heat oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Test with a drop of batter - if it sizzles, the oil is ready.
3. Fry: Spoon about 60 ml (2 fl oz) batter into the oil to form fritters, cooking 2 at a time. Fry ~2 minutes per side until golden.
4. Drain: Transfer fritters to a wire rack to drain. Repeat with remaining batter.
5. Serve: Top fritters with lox and poached eggs and serve immediately.
