Crispy, savory, and delightfully easy to prepare, these Ham and Sweet Corn Fritters are a perfect quick-fix meal or snack that's packed with flavor and texture. Made with diced cooked ham, sweet corn, and a hint of fresh parsley, these golden fritters combine wholesome ingredients to create a satisfying dish that's both kid-friendly and Weight Watchers-friendly at only 5 points per serving. The self-raising flour and light milk form a thick batter that's quick to whip up, while green onions add a subtle zing. Cooked to perfection in a lightly oiled non-stick frying pan, these fritters are a guilt-free indulgence, especially when served with a refreshing dollop of plain Greek yogurt and a crisp side salad. Whether you're meal-prepping or making a casual meal, these fritters are sure to become a household favorite.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, salt, and black pepper.
Add the diced ham, sweet corn, green onions, and parsley to the dry ingredients. Toss to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until a thick batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and spray lightly with olive oil spray.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the batter per fritter into the pan, flattening slightly with the back of a spoon to form small round fritters.
Cook each fritter for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
Repeat with the remaining batter, spraying the pan with more oil between batches, if needed.
Serve warm with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt, if desired, and a side salad for a complete meal.
