Directions
-
Sieve the cake flour, baking powder, white sugar, and salt into a large mixing bowl to ensure a light batter.
-
Add the melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix gently until combined.
-
In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the egg and whisk in the milk.
-
Gradually pour the egg-milk mixture into the flour mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
-
Beat the batter lightly until smooth, adding a splash more milk if it appears too thick.
-
Drain the canned sweet corn and fold the kernels into the batter gently to maintain their shape.
-
Heat vegetable or sunflower oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.
-
Drop tablespoon-sized mounds of batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
-
Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
-
Remove the fritters from the oil and drain them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
-
Serve warm immediately with coffee, tea, or your favorite dipping sauce.
