Directions
Mixing the Batter
Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a mixing bowl, and make a well in the centre.
|
Break the egg into the well. Add a half a cup of milk.
|
Start mixing, gradually working in the flour from the sides of the bowl.
|
Add another half a cup of milk. Beat only enough to make a smooth mixture.
|
Mix in the canned corn.
|
Frying
Heat cooking oil in a deep fryer. Pour a quarter of a cupful of batter into the
pan. If the fryer is large enough, pour in three or four frittersworth of batter,
each in a separate corner of the fryer so they won't touch. Let them cook until they
are golden brown. Turn them at least once, so they get evenly cooked on both sides.
Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon, and let them drain on
kitchen paper. Serve hot.
While people are eating the first batch, make the next one. Yes, this does mean that
the cook has to stay in the kitchen, and only gets the last lot of fritters.
At the Table
If desired, roll the fritter in icing sugar.
Serves around four people.
