Recipe Steps
- Place the flour, baking powder, bicarb soda, sugar, salt corn kernels, grated cheese, shallots and herbs into a bowl.
- Combine the milk with the egg and melted butter in a jug and whisk in the egg.
- If you are using the chopped bacon in the fritters, cook off the bacon until just slightly crispy before adding it into the dry ingredients.
- Pour all of the milk, egg, and butter into the flour and vegetable mix and slowly fold in the wet until the batter is just combined.
- Heat up a non-stick pan over a moderate temperature and add in a little oil or extra butter.
- Place spoonfuls of the mix into the heated pan and cook for at least 2-3 minutes on each side until bubbles start to appear on the surface and the cooked side is golden. Before you flip the fritter over is where you add your bacon or an extra slice of halloumi if you want to cook the bacon or halloumi into the fritter.
- Finish all of the batter, then serve the fritters with your favouirte accompaniments. The fritters can be frozen for up to 3 months. and are best reheated in the microwave for a couple of seconds or in 180c oven covered with foil for about 10-15 minutes.
