Note

Additional Notes

These fritters taste best fresh but keep their texture if reheated in a dry pan. Serve with Greek yogurt, chilli jam, or a crisp salad.

Optional Substitutions & Variations

  • Replace milk with oat milk for a dairy-free option.
  • Swap coriander for parsley if you prefer a milder herb.
  • Add a pinch of chilli flakes for heat.
  • Use grated courgette in place of some sweetcorn for extra moisture and colour.

Tips & Variations

Keep the batter balanced

If the batter feels too thick, add a small splash of milk. If too thin, add a spoon of spelt flour. The aim is a loose but scoopable mix that spreads a little in the pan.

Try different pairings

Serve with smashed avocado, poached eggs, or lime-dressed salad. For a snack platter, add dips like garlic yoghurt, chilli mayo, or salsa. Each option matches the crisp, warm fritters easily.
