    Corn Fritters (Kiwi)

    Corn fritters have been a New Zealand brunch institution since the 1950s, when canned creamed corn made them effortless for home cooks. They became the classic ‘big breakfast’ side, served with bacon, tomato, and a fried egg at cafés from Auckland to Invercargill.

    The best corn fritters are crisp at the edges, soft in the middle, and bursting with sweet corn kernels. They’re quick to make, endlessly versatile, and just as good with maple syrup as they are with bacon and tomato sauce.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Whisk the eggs and milk in a bowl, then stir in the creamed corn and corn kernels.
    2. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and chives; stir until just combined — lumps are fine.
    3. Rest the batter for 10 minutes while you heat the butter or oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
    4. Drop in spoonfuls and fry for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
    5. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Resting the batter makes fluffier fritters. Cook them in small batches so the pan stays hot and the edges get properly crispy.
