Recipe Instructions:
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn, freshly grated ginger, chopped fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped chives, self-raising flour, milk, and the egg yolk. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
-
In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg white until stiff peaks form. This will help to give the fritters a light and fluffy texture.
-
Gently fold the beaten egg white and grated sweet potato into the corn mixture until evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the airy consistency.
-
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil.
-
Spoon large dollops of the fritter mixture into the pan, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
-
Serve the sweet potato and corn fritters warm, accompanied by some grilled bacon or your favorite breakfast sides.
-
Enjoy the irresistible combination of flavors and textures in these delicious fritters, perfect for starting your day on a wholesome note!
Tips:
- For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the fritter batter.
- These fritters can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven or microwave for a quick breakfast or snack.
- Customize the recipe by incorporating other vegetables such as diced bell peppers or grated zucchini for extra nutrition and color.
