Mema’s Corn Fritters

Recipe Description

My Mema’s Corn Fritters recipe is a brilliant dish for keeping the kids happy, I promise you from experience! I love this recipe as it’s so quick and easy to put together. Plus I always have these ingredients in my store cupboard, so I can easily knock this one out any night of the week.

These little fritters are soft on the inside and crisp on the outside, after being gently fried in butter to seal them. Corn, Parmesan and onion provides all the flavor you need – the Parmesan is the ingredient that really brings the dish together. I recommend trying this recipe with grated zucchini or carrot too, whatever you have at home will work just great with this basic method.

To make Mema’s Corn Fritters, you will need the following ingredients:

I recently made Mema's Corn Fritters for a gathering with friends, and they were a huge hit. Everyone loved the crispy outside and soft inside. It's so quick and I had everything I needed at home. I added some grated courgettes from my garden, and they turned out fantastic. Highly recommend for a simple, delicious snack.
