Time 16m

Yield Makes 12 fritters (3 toddler portions or 14 small portions)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 x small can no-salt sweetcorn, drained
small handful baby spinach leaf
1 small garlic clove, crushed
1 spring onion, chopped
50g plain flour
½ tsp baking powder
1 egg
50ml milk
1 tsp rapeseed oil, for frying

Steps:

Pulse all the ingredients except the oil in a food processor until fairly but not completely smooth.
Heat a little oil in a frying pan until hot and dollop four spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan leaving space around them. Fry for just under 1 min on each side until lightly golden. When you flip the fritter, flatten with a spatula to ensure even cooking the whole way through. Cook in three batches, placing the cooked fritters on a plate covered with kitchen roll. Serve warm.
You can freeze any fritters you don't need. Lay them on a baking sheet, then once frozen, transfer to a freezer bag. Reheat the frozen fritters in the oven (180C/160fan/gas 4) for around 10 mins until piping hot. Allow to cool to lukewarm before serving.
