Serves 4–6
Method
- Sift flour and salt together into a bowl. Make a well in the centre and add eggs.
- Gradually add milk, drawing flour in from sides of bowl. Mix until a smooth, creamy batter is achieved.
- Stir in chicken, corn kernels and capsicum. Leave to stand for about 30 minutes.
- Take a large pan and add enough oil to cover cooking surface. Heat until smoking, then add 3–4 spoonfuls of batter, depending on size of pan. Fry for about 2 minutes or until golden brown and puffy around the edges. Turn over to fry other side.
- Remove fritters and drain on absorbent paper. Repeat with remaining batter until used up. Serve hot.
