A recipe with minimal flour, had these at a cafe recently, so light and only just held together with minimal flour, could really taste the corn and coriander.

Basically I use about 2 tablespoons of flour per can a pinch or two of salt and about a 1/4 tsp of baking powder then any herbs fry in butter oil mix. Biggest difference is the quality of the corn you use some are quite watery, Oak is the best.
Stir the flour in as you add it if the batter looks a bit stiff stop adding flour. I too can't stand those Nanna recipes which start with a cup of flour they are corn flavoured pancakes.

I should add heat the pan up while mixing and do a little test to check you have enough flour to bind but only just.

Yay - thanks for that tip - I have always used the Edmond's recipe (3/4 cup flour per can), and they are disappointingly solid, doughy creatures with that much flour.

I make them without flour. Just a few more eggs.

I will try that, I guess I started with the mostly flour type ones and have slowly reduced and reduced to the point where next step is flour free.

I am a poppa well they call me papa or gaga or grandpa anyway, looking after two granddaughters today :)
I usually serve my corn fritters with a nice salsa of diced tomato onion and cucumber and fresh corriander basil and a bit of chilli, olive oil and salt.

I have a recipe that uses mashed potato to bind instead of flour if you would like that posted.

If in doubt add a few spoonfuls of buckwheat flour. At least then it is gluten free :)

Just so you 'know' Uli a fritter IS made with flour. Something with just corn and eggs is NOT a fritter. I don't care what it is called actually, but you seem to be quite literal in the name of a recipe from other threads so I am just letting you learn not to call THAT a fritter. (see Wikipedia entry for Corn Fritter) I wouldn't like to see you uneducated in these things.

Corn kernels are what I like best as the creamed style consistencies vary too much

I am glad you told me about my misconception of what a real "fritter" is. Sadly I cannot cook you one, I am sure you wouldn't have a clue there was no flour in it :)
But yeah - what shall we call it then! Flour-less fritter maybe! Or mock corn fritter (but that would imply that the corn is replaced by yellow courgettes.). Maybe corn cakes!

By definition a fritter is something that is dipped or mixed with batter and fried.The batter can be made of anything that holds together.

going to add my fave one, has flour but others may appriciate it :)
Corn and Courgette Fritters with Avocado Salsa
410g can whole kernel corn 1 small courgette, grated 1/3 finely diced red capsicum 1 egg ¾ cup self-raising flour Salt and freshly ground pepper Oil for frying Salsa: 1 avocado, diced 1/2 red onion fried with chopped streaky bacon and some of the diced red capsicum. 2 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
Tip contents of the corn can (including the liquid) into a bowl. Add the courgette, egg, flour and salt and pepper and mix with a fork until just combined. Fry spoonfuls in oil over moderate-high heat until puffed and golden on both sides. Serve topped with salsa, made by gently combining avocado, fired bacon, onion and capsicum and chilli sauce.Then onto that sour cream soooo good and looks amazing :) can add corriander.
If you want egg free fritters chickpea flour works quite well.

I just use a can of whole kernel corn, 3 eggs, pinch of chilli, granulated garlic, dried coriander, splash of milk and add SR Flour until the batter is of the right consistency, though still a bit runny, they do no taste 'floury'. Sometimes I also chop up and add a ham steak to make them go further.

If using a flour recipe and creamed corn, just add an extra can of corn kernels.Stops them form being doughy then :)
