Sweet corn fritters with maple bacon and avocado cream
Fluffy and full of flavour, this makes an easy and impressive brunch dish or a light supper to be enjoyed with a glass of wine. Adding a drizzle of maple syrup to the bacon really brings out the smokiness.
Ingredients
| 1¼ cups | Self raising flour |
| 1 | Spring onion, finely sliced |
| 1 bunch | Coriander, small, finely chopped |
| 1 cup | Corn kernels, raw and sweet, or in winter use canned |
| 2 | Eggs |
| 1 cup | Milk, warmed |
| 1 tsp | Baking soda |
| 40 g | Butter, melted |
| 1 drizzle | Rice bran oil, for cooking |
| 8 rashers | Streaky bacon |
| 1 drizzle | Maple syrup |
| 1 | Avocado |
| 2 Tbsp | Lemon juice |
| 1 Tbsp | Sour cream |
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, onion, coriander, corn and seasoning, and toss well to coat the ingredients in the flour.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. Mix milk with baking soda and butter, then add to eggs.
- Gently fold wet ingredients into dry to make a spoonable batter.
- Heat a little of the rice bran oil in a frying pan and add spoonfuls of the corn mixture.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes each side until golden and puffed. Set aside in a warm oven while cooking the remaining mixture.
- Meanwhile, spread the bacon on a lined tray. Brush with maple syrup and season with pepper.
- Grill for 4-5 minutes until crispy or done to your liking.
- Combine the avocado and lemon juice, and mash together until smooth, then mix in the sour cream and season to taste.
- Serve the fritters in a stack with crispy bacon on the side and a dollop of avocado cream.
