Sweetcorn Fritters...

#Post
1

My late mum always cooked the most beautiful golden brown sweetcorn fritters.
Made some today, and cos **trying** to be healthy, used Rice bran oil
They burnt before the inside was cooked.
Hubby reckons Mum always used dripping ( or fat)...

What do you cook yours in, and how do you get a nice even golden colour, instead of black........

Yum you are making me hungry - love corn fritters. Went to a café the other day and they were $4.95 for one fritter with sweet chilli sauce on the side. Get a few out of a tin of corn!!!

I cook them on low heat in a non-stick pan, I also use for pikelets, no oil, nothing, they are beautiful, lowish heat the key, like cooking pikelets

I would say the element was too hot. Wait til its hot but not too hot before spooning in the fritters.

I used to make them with creamed corn but they were gluggy. Now I use my pikelet recipe (minus the sugar), that makes thick'pillows' - and add lots of corn kernals, spring onion, and replace some of the milk with corn relish. Low heat, no oil or just a little cooking spray.

#9, do you use the liquid. I think I will try corn kernals instead of the creamed corn....

I use the Fog Dog fritter mix, and it makes lovely corn fritters. I also add chopped bacon, onion, cheese and zuchinni. Yum

Do you mean the liquid from a can of corn kernals? No, just the kernals, and I usually use frozen ones that I'be poured boiling water over, then drained.

Fog Dog fritter mix? Can you buy that at any Supermarket? Just that I've never come across it..

That's the way I do it, by far the best way, I can't stand the corn flavored pikelets with corn kernels some people make.

Make Corn Fritters frequently & use Rice Bran Oil, turn when they bubble same as Pikelets - never had problems. Adjust temp during cooking. Allison Holsts recipe: 440gm can(creamed or plain), 1 egg, 1c SR Flour.
No fuss, bung it all together & cook.

Best ones I have ever made was when I separated the egg, and beat the egg whites before adding, having already added the yokes. So light and fluffy. Emmm need to make some again. My family have always loved them, dunked in tomato sauce.

in a big bowl, fresh corn steamed and shucked, mix with fresh chopped coriander, mint, finely chopped red chillis, diced brown onion, crumble in block feta cheese, add grated cheese, eggs, flour and water to make a thickish batter mix. Cut through until just combine.

Heat up the stick proof skillet with olive oil. Add in batches, flip until golden both sides. Place in warm oven as you cook all batter. The cheese goes all crispy outside and gooey inside. The colours look sensational and the taste is devine.

Serve with plain thick yoghurt cheese (fullcream youghurt well drained over night) freshly chopped corriander and mint, home made chilli sauce

Fog Dog Fritter Mix I find at Countdown generally alongside the fresh meat/fish counter. Its not in the aisles. There was a cafe in Greenwoods cnr years ago that made the BEST corn fritters. They were deliciously crispy on the outside edges and i wondered if they had been deep fried?

A healthy, cheap main is corn fritters. I use a can of Wattie's creamed corn(buy a few when on special,)add 2 eggs, a small cup of rolled-oats, couple of tbsps flour and a tsp baking powder. Season, can add herbs or bacon bits, whatever. Drop spoonfuls into a hot oiled pan.( After adding the rolled oats and eggs, leave to sit for half an hour. Then after mixing in the rest you can better-judge consistency.)

Bev! I was just going to post, and you've posted my method exactly! I add the rolled-oats to the corn and let it sit for 30 mins, then add the rest. It holds the fritters together well. These days I fry things in lard. We don't eat much fried food, but I find lard gives excellent result.

Depends on the mix of the fritters and definitely not oil for frying. Either dripping or lard or if you have loads of money to spend duck fat :)

It always depends on how runny the can of creamed corn is. I often use corn as a base and add finely chopped red and green peppers, onion etc. Kids love them - always disappear at a shared lunch. I prefer zucchini fritters.

Another vote for cooking in lard. We raise pigs, so I clarify my own. It is far superior for frying than oil.

I use the standard edmonds recipe but add in 1 cup of corn kernels for each tin of creamed corn (frozen, fresh or tinned and drained) , a finely chopped chilli and a large spring onion finely chopped. The extra corn keeps them nice and big instead of going floppy like ones just made with the creamed corn.

sellontrademe - 2018-05-03 15:51:00

We use the bog standard Edmonds recipe for fritters but only use fresh corn, ie buy a cob and scrape off the kernels. Once you have made them with absolutely fresh corn, you will never go back to tinned or frozen corn again. Great with sweet chili sauce

Had some lovely corn fritters at a cafe earlier this week. They had curry in them which was really delicious. Served with streaky bacon, avo, a few salad greens and a poached egg - really delish! Oh and red pepper relish ????

Love lard. I used to raise pigs a couple of pigs at a time and always had lard in the fridge. I rendered down a fatty pork belly recently and am looking forward to making some oven bottom muffins - Lancashire style!

All purpose seasoning in the fitter mix. Use nz olive oil (as a special treat) or (the NZ canola oil - cold pressed is supposed to have no additives -the good oil). whole kernels organic corn. Use self raising flour. Test oil heat with small piece of bread, go toasty quickly if the oil is at the right temperature.

I grew up with corn fritters being a special treat. Made them recently for my cave dwellers. One asked "is this poor people food, did you lose your job?" We ar still not speaking.

Turns out he thought they were amazing with a side of salad, sweet chili sauce and lashings of sour cream. I add cheese to mine and have to use GF flour but they really were good. I pretty much cook everything in either coconut oil or peanut oil. The fritters I used peanut oil.

This summer I made fresh corn fritters for some visiting young relatives who had never had them before, actually hadn't heard of them. They were both blown away and he said "This is the best thing I've ever eaten". So we shouldn't take corn fritters for granted...

My son took my elderly mother and I out to lunch today. Glorious day, their two meals were excellent ... but mine?

I'd ordered corn fritters with salsa....
What I got were 3 pikelet-like anemic rounds, with no actual kernels of corn showing, luke warm (I'm guessing but would probably have been precooked, frozen, and "reheated" in a microwave), flaccid and pallid rounds with no browning or crispness or thickness at all....

Not only that, but even if it had been there, I couldn't taste the corn, as the paste and pasty circles were covered completely with a vile tasting tomato relish (in no way was it a "salsa") ..... The "tomato stuff" was probably "on the turn" as it had the occasional "fizziness" on the tongue on the very small portion that I managed to eat, then wished I hadn't as have only just stopped feeling nauseous..... very disappointing meal, indeed.... not even feeling up to making "proper ones" to ease my disappointment.

That's a shame, to be disappointed, two out of three ain't good enough!
A bit off topic, but when I get to eat out, which is what I consider a treat, I expect something better than I can cook at home, but sadly that doesn't happen too often & I'm not the most accomplished cook.
To me it's about quality, cooked to perfection & presentation & expect it to have little bit of wow factor...but sometimes it just doesn't happen.

No, not prepared to name them as I spoke quietly and politely to the management by phone after the nausea passed, and said that I'd rather discuss the issue with her so she could make changes, including staff training, so it didn't happen to someone who might rush off and do a Google review, which wouldn't solve the problem. She wouldn't have known about it, if I hadn't told her (clearly the waitress hadn't!)

I omitted to say earlier that the waitresses, when asked, hadn't got around to cleaning the table before our meals were served, and when I'd discussed why my meal, less than 1/4 eaten was placed to my side, she just walked off! It wasn't as if they were very busy, but at that stage I needed to get home and deal with the nausea, so didn't ask for the manager then....

She (the manager) was very good about it, as I approached it as an ex-restauranteur to a peer... and ended up asking me for my address to send a voucher for a replacement meal, and a request to have a decent chat with me then, too. I wasn't after a refund at all, but her response, and our conversation, made me actually want to go again (has a terrific view, apart from anything else, and great coffee...), so not such a disappointing day, after all.
