Corn Fritters

Inspired by the best thing that I ever ate crunchy edition on the Food Network, I found the recipe for the E&O Trading Company Corn Fritter recipe online and substituted out the celery for coriander and gave the recipe a go. They turned out pretty and tasty but not as crunchy as I expected so some tweaking needs to be done with the egg and flour ratio.

Serve the corn fritters with sweet thai chili sauce for some sweet heat. However, the next time I give this recipe a go, I’m going to amp up the flavour a little more with shredded kaffir lime leaves and chopped fresh red chilies!
