WEIGHT WATCHERS CORN FRITTERS
Another WW site recipe that turned out great. Needing to use up some of my corn harvest and found this. Very good and 0 free style points, if you don't want to use fresh corn I'm sure frozen would do; just make sure it's defrosted and drained. For a little extra zing I did add about 2 teaspoons of chopped jalapeno to mine

SWEETCORN FRITTERS (CAN BE WEIGHT WATCHERS)
I love this recipe for its versatility. I can make it Weight Watchers friendly by reducing the oil. I can vary the amount of chilli to give it more or less heat. And it can be served with a range of sauces/ dips to add extra flavour! Despite the long list of steps, it comes together surprisingly quickly. If you make these the healthy way using less oil, make the fritters smaller so they cook quickly without browning too much before the middle is cooked through.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a non-stick pan, add the onion and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, until beginning to soften. Add the chilli and garlic and cook for a further minute. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Put the sweetcorn in a mixing bowl and lightly mash with a potato masher to break down the kernels a little.
- Add the onion mixture, spring onions and egg to the mixing bowl.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir to mix.
- Sift in the flour and baking powder and stir to mix. The mixture is quite runny at this stage but don't worry- it firms up nicely when cooked!
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in the non-stick pan.
- Drop four heaped spoonfuls of the sweetcorn mixture in once the oil is hot. Flatten them using a spatula until roughly 1cm/ 1/2inch thick- do this gently so the mixture does not stick to the spatula and break up the fritter.
- Fry the fritters for 3-4 minutes, or until golden and crisp on the underside. Flip them using the spatula and fry the other side for 3-4 minutes until done.
- Remove the fritters from the pan and keep warm.
- Wipe the pan with kitchen paper and repeat from step 6 to cook the remaining fritters.
- Serve drizzled with sweet chilli sauce or your favourite sauce/ dip. You could also garnish with chopped fresh coriander leaves.

Tips:
- For a crispier fritter, use a nonstick skillet and cook the fritters over medium heat.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the fritters tough.
- Serve the fritters warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or fruit.
