We grew up with fritters – pumpkin fritters, sweetcorn fritters. They are such great Sunday evening dinners, quick and easy and you can even add your own ingredients using left overs. The best thing, for me, is that they are pretty easy to make gluten free.
This recipe adds chilli but you can make up a batch without chilli and then split it in two and add chilli to one half for those who like something with chilli.
Do you use Maizena? We use it daily to thicken up sauces as a replacement for flour.

These look so good! I definitely want to try these. I think my little guy would love them and I love that they are gluten-free.
This is amazing. My kids loved it. They’re bugging me to make another batch this weekend. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
We don’t avoid gluten at our house. But this recipe looks so good!
