4 eggs, separated
0.75 cup self raising flour

25 g butter
2 tablespoons olive oil

ix together corn, spring onion and red capsicum in a bowl.

tips & hints

Transferring the fritters to a preheated oven (180°C) helps to make sure the fritters are cooked through and also keep them warm while the others are still cooking.
To substitute regular flour for the self-raising add 1 rounded teaspoon of baking powder to ¾ cup regular flour.
