Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plain flour
- 1/2 cup self-raising flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 small egg, well-beaten
- 1 cup milk
- Drain a 125g can of sweet corn kernels.
- 1 cup corned beef, finely chopped
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, self-raising flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the salt and pepper are evenly distributed.
- Add the Wet Ingredients
Make a hollow in the center of the dry mixture. Add the well-beaten egg and milk into the well. Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until you have a smooth batter.
- Incorporate Corn and Beef
Fold in the drained sweet corn kernels and finely chopped corned beef. Mix until the corn and beef are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Heat the Oil
Heat approximately 1/4 inch of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small bit of batter into the pan. If it sizzles and begins to turn golden, the oil is hot enough.
- Fry the Fritters
Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, flattening each spoonful slightly with the back of the spoon to form fritters.
- Cook Until Golden Brown
Cook the fritters until both sides achieve a golden brown hue and a crispy texture, typically around 2-3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve
Serve the Corned Beef Fritters hot, with your favorite dipping sauce or a fresh salad. They make a great appetizer, snack, or main course.

Corned Beef Fritters are a delightful way to enjoy the classic flavors of corned beef in a new and exciting form. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these fritters are easy to make and perfect for any occasion. Serve them hot and enjoy the savory goodness with your family and friends.
