Servings 10 fritters

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs
  • 40 ml milk whole or semi-skimmed
  • 260 g sweetcorn fresh or drained weight from tin
  • 3 spring onions
  • 1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 90 g plain flour
  • 2 tbsp hot honey plus more to drizzle
  • vegetable/sunflower oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • To make the batter: Crack the eggs into a large bowl, then pour in the milk and whisk together briefly. Then drain the sweetcorn (if using from a tin), and add half to the bowl. Blitz the other half in a food processor with two teaspoons of water until creamy - this will take a little while. Then add to the bowl.
  • Thinly slice the spring onions and finely chop the parsley, add both to the bowl. Finally, add the flour, salt and pepper and the hot honey to the bowl and whisk together until well combined.
  • To shallow fry: Pour enough oil into a large high-sided frying pan to cover the base, then place over a medium-high heat. Wait until the oil begins to bubble, then spoon approx. two tablespoons of batter for each fritter into the oil. (Only fry 2/3 fritters together at the same time, so theres enough room for them.) Fry for 1-2 minutes on the first side, then carefully flip over using a spatula and continue to fry for a further 30sec-1minute. Then remove from the oil and either place onto kitchen towels to drain, or onto a cooling rack. Then repeat the process with the batter, until you've used it all up and made 10 fritters. You may need to turn the heat down on the oil over time, to keep it from getting too hot.
  • Serve with a drizzle more hot honey, and fried or poached eggs if you desire.

Notes

Fritters are best served warm. 
Fritters can be kept air-tight in the fridge for 2-3 days.
