Ingredients
- 1 corn on the cob
- 105g crab
- 25g cheddar cheese, grated
- 20g basil, chopped
- 2 tbsps plain flour
- 2 tbsps cornmeal
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 60ml vegetable oil for frying
- finishing salt such as Maldon or Fleur de Sel
Method
Step 1
Use a sharp knife to cut the corn off the cob into a bowl. When you're done cutting the kernels, use the back side of the knife to scrape any remaining bits of corn and juice off the cob and into the bowl.
Step 2
Add the crab, cheddar, basil, flour, cornmeal, egg and black pepper into a bowl and stir well to combine. Prepare a paper towel lined wire rack.
Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.
Step 4
Add the fritter mixture 1 heaping tablespoon at a time to the pan and fry until golden brown on one side.
Step 5
Gently flip the fritter over with a spatula and give it a light press to flatten it out, and then fry until the other side becomes golden brown and crisp.
Step 6
Drain the fritters on the paper towels, and then sprinkle with finishing salt before serving.
