Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk 3/4 cup all-purpose flour with 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt.
  2. Step 2: Crack 2 large eggs into the bowl, add 1/4 cup whole milk, and stir until just combined into a thick batter.
  3. Step 3: Fold in 1 1/2 cups fresh sweetcorn kernels and 1 cup thawed green peas gently to preserve their texture.
  4. Step 4: Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering, about 3 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Using a 1/4 cup measure, drop batter into the hot oil, flattening slightly with the back of a spoon. Cook fritters for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
  6. Step 6: Transfer fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  7. Step 7: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup Greek yogurt with 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives and 1/2 tsp salt; stir well.
  8. Step 8: Serve fritters warm alongside the chive yogurt dip for a fresh, savory bite.
