Steps

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in the frying pan. Add the onion. Cook for 2 minutes.

  4. Slowly add the milk. Mix until the mixture is smooth.
  5. Add the cooked onion, sweet corn and spring onions to the bowl.

   Cooking Tips

  • To test if the oil in the pan is ready, drop in a corn kernel to see if it sizzles. If it burns quickly, the oil is too hot.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan with too many fritters, as it will be difficult to flip them.
  • Enjoy the fritters dipped in your favourite sauce. Tomato ketchup and Worcestershire sauce go particularly well!

Nutrition Advice

  • Just like fresh milk, evaporated milk provides vitamin A, vitamin D and calcium for healthy bones. Half a cup of evaporated milk is equivalent to 1 serving of fresh milk. Choose skimmed, 1% or 2% evaporated milk for a low-fat option.
  • Sweet corn is a good source of zeaxanthin and lutein, which are good for eye health. It can be added to soups, salads and casseroles for an added shot of fibre and protein.
