Ingredients

1 cup (155 grams) cooked corned beef diced
½ cup frozen peas
½ cup canned sweet corn kernels drained
¾ cup self-raising flour
1 egg
½ cup dairy free milk oat milk, soy milk or almond milk
Salt and pepper to taste
1-2 tablespoons canola oil for cooking

Instructions

Bring a small saucepan of water to the boil. Add the frozen peas and cook for 1-2 minutes. Alternatively, place them in a microwave-safe bowl with water, cover, and microwave for 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and pepper. Add the egg and dairy free milk, then whisk until a thick batter forms. Stir in the diced corned beef, cooked peas, and drained corn until evenly combined.
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Once hot, drop in ¼ cup of batter per fritter. Depending on your pan size, you may need to cook in batches (3-4 fritters at a time).
Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 3 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil if needed.
Serve hot or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
