These corned beef fritters are made from pantry staples and are budget friendly. Perfect for an emergency dinner!
Equipment
- Sharp knife
- Mixing bowl
- 5 cm or 2 inch scoop - optional
- Frying pan or skillet
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 340 g tinned corned beef
- 100 g flour
- 1 onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 3 tablespoon oil
Instructions
- Cut the corned beef into small cubes about 1 cm or half an inch.
- Peel and chop the onion.
- Place a frying pan over a medium heat and add the oil. Cook the onions for 5 minutes until soft but not coloured.
- Put the flour in a large bowl and mix in the baking powder and seasoning.
- Whisk the eggs together with a fork and beat into the flour until the batter is thick and evenly mixed.
- Add the chopped corned beef and cooked onion to the batter. Stir gently to avoid breaking up the beef.
- Heat the remaining oil in the frying pan.
- Use the scoop to add portions of the batter to the pan and flatten the mounds slightly with the back of a fork to get an even thickness. This will make 12 fritters.
- Cook for about 4 minutes. Use a spatula to turn the corned beef fritters over and cook for a further 3- 4 minutes until golden on both sides.
Notes
💭 Top Tip
- To make slicing the beef easier, put it in the freezer for 10 minutes or in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Cut into thick slices first, then into lengths, then cubes.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment and place in a preheated oven at 180 C / 350 F / 160 FAN / Gas 4. Add the cooked fritters to the tray to keep warm while the remainder are cooked.
