Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Corn Fresh/Frozen
  • 1 Cup Peas Fresh/Frozen
  • 1 Cup Self-Rising Flour
  • ¼ Cup Cornflour
  • 2 Teaspoons Salt
  • 2 Teaspoons Black Pepper
  • ½ Teaspoon Paprika
  • 2 Tablespoon Cream Cheese Optional
  • ½ Cup Full Fat Milk
  • 3 Large Eggs Beaten
  • 1 Large Shallot Finely Minced
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Chives Finely Chopped
  • 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese
  • Olive Oil For Frying

Instructions

  • Heat a small pot filled with boiling water over high heat until rapidly boiling.
  • Add the peas and corn and boil for four to five minutes or until tender. Drain, side aside, and allow to cool.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and cornflour with two teaspoons of salt, two teaspoons of black pepper, and half a teaspoon of regular paprika.
  • In a jug or separate container, mix the cream cheese into the milk and then whisk this solution into the beaten egg.
  • Combine the wet ingredients with the dry and add the corn, peas, onion, and chopped chives.
  • Once well mixed, stir in the grated cheese.
  • Allow the corn and pea fritter batter to rest in the fridge for ten minutes.
  • Once ten minutes have passed, stir well and heat a frying pan lightly coated with olive or vegetable oil over medium heat.
  • As soon as the pan is hot enough to sizzle as soon as the batter touches the oil, scoop out roughly three tablespoons of batter to form one large fritter at a time.
  • Fry in batches of three or four fritters for three to four minutes a side without overcrowding the pan, or until your corn and pea fritters are golden, crispy, and cooked through.
  • Allow to drain on paper towels before serving.
