I have been making these tuna melt fritters for a while but completely forgot to post them. Cruel I know. These are delicious, I can't stand around and watch Harry eating them, so I double the batch and have them for lunch with some avocado, rocket and tomato. Nom nom nom.
Ingredients
1 x 125g can of creamed corn
1 x 125g can corn kernels
1 x 95 gram tuna (or salmon)
1/2 cup cheese, grated
1 1/4 cups plain flour
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
Olive oil to fry
Method
1/ Whisk milk and eggs together
2/ Add all other ingredients and mix until you have a consistant batter
3/ Heat the oil in a fry pan over medium, dollop tablespoons full of batter into the pan and cook each side for a few minutes until golden
Tip: These are similar to my pick-n-mix fritters, so I will often halve that mixture and do half tuna melts and half ordinary fritters. They are all great to have in the freezer.
Yum! I reckon my 8 month old would love these :)
ReplyDeleteHe just tried a tiny corner of a pancake yesterday and ate it well, so I think these would be a hit! Thanks for the idea!
I hope he does Kez, some babies take to finger food really early. Let me know how you go :)
ReplyDeleteHave you ever tried these with gluten free flour? Just wondering if they would turn out as good :)
ReplyDeleteHi, no I haven't tried them with gluten free flour, I tried them with whole meal and they were good, just a tad less fluffy. I don't see why they wouldn't work? If anything they might just be slightly more dense. So maybe not quite as much flour (1 cup plain gluten free) or a bit more milk (3/4 cup)? You might have to play around with the consistency.

Thanks. Will do!
DeleteThese are another great success! I was frying them in batches with little Miss 11 Months watching on, so I gave her a bit of the coolest one. She then sat there going "Ta! Ta!" until I gave her more, and is now sat in the highchair going "mmmmm!"
ReplyDeleteThe recipes makes loads too, I might even freeze some for later. Fantastic!
Yay, I am so happy she liked them!
DeleteI always freeze a big batch of these and the pick 'n' mix fritters, they are so good to have for a quick snack or to bulk up a meal.
Thanks for the comment x
A success with my toddler!
ReplyDeleteThis makes quite a large batch, so just wondering how you go about freezing them. Would you put the batter in ice cubes to freeze and then cook from scratch, or cook the whole lot up and freeze them ready-made?
Hi Rachel, a success! Yesssss. So happy.
DeleteI cook up the whole lot, then individually wrap in plastic, then pop them all in a freezer proof glad bag. So convenient to just pull them out when I need.
Enjoy,
