Corn Fritters with Sour Cream Guacamole (Vegetarian)

May 25, 2023

These crispy fritters make a great brunch or light supper! To make this dairy-free, simply sub the parmesan and sour cream for vegan equivalents readily available in the dairy case at the supermarket.
TOP TIP: Ignore the temptation to make your fritters thick, the trick is to keep them thin (around 2cm) so they crisp up perfectly.

Ingredients

1/2 cup Nuttelex

2 cups corn kernels (2 medium sized corn cobs)

1/4 cup corn flour

1/4 cup plain flour

1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda

1 pinch white pepper

1/2 cup fresh coriander leaves chopped

4 lime wedges

1 tbsp fresh chopped corainader

Directions

1Place all the fritter ingredients (except for the Nuttelex) in a large bowl and mix to combine until a batter forms.

2Place your cooling rack on a lined tray and set next to the stove top.

3Heat large frypan on medium-high heat. Add part of the Nuttelex and allow to melt, then use a large spoon to carefully drop your fritter mixture into the heated pan. Flatten fritter mixture gently with a spatula so that it is no thicker than 2 cm. Cook for 3 minutes on each side until crisp & golden. Cook only a few fritters at a time, then transfer to the cooling rack and place in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining fritter mixture, adding Nuttelex to the frypan as necessary until all used.
