Expert Tips for Making Corn and Zucchini Fritters Recipe:
- If your mixture is too dry (this can happen depending on the water content of your zucchini) simply add a tablespoon of water to your mixture at a time until the batter forms.
- You can use frozen corn kernels for this recipe in place of the tinned corn kernels, you will need 1 and ½ cups.
- If you don’t have onion flakes, you can use a small finely chopped brown onion in their place.
- You can mix up the quantities and type of cheese used. If you don’t have any mozzarella cheese, you can use parmesan cheese in it’s place or you can increase the amount of tasty cheese.
- This recipe makes between 16 – 20 fritters (the final amount will depend on how big you decide to make them obviously!) and this gives me enough to add to the kids lunch boxes for a couple of days with plenty leftover to snack on.
