They’re naturally gluten free, as corn flour is used because the binder for these fritters, in addition to the shredded mozzarella. No eggs are wanted, as the warmth from the pan will trigger the cornflour and cheese to work their binding magic.

Feta contrasts so nicely with the sweetcorn, and I’ve then added smoked paprika and spring onions for a depth of flavour, and lime juice for somewhat acidic hit. The lime juice received’t make them candy in any respect, it merely contributes to the general steadiness. And provides them somewhat Mexican vibe.
