Sweetcorn Fritters, Crispy Bacon & Guacamole

This is my all time favourite brunch. 
A big, delicious pile of goodies, packed full-a-flavour, colour and everything you need to defeat the rest of the day/weekend. 
Sweetcorn fritters are a great breakfast alternative to pancakes & much easier than you might imagine. 
Make them for someone this Sunday, I promise it'll knock their socks off. 




You could eat these with ketchup if you wanted... but if you're up for trying something a little bit different, a little bit wild, you can have what I have. 
Tabasco & maple syrup. 
Ok, so it's not for the faint hearted but I'm all about having salty/sweet/sour/hot all in one mouthful. 
Trust me, it's epic. 

To feed 2 (hungry) mouths you'll need: 

100g / 3½oz plain flour
1tsp baking powder
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1tsp smoked paprika
2 free-range eggs
75ml / 2½fl oz milk
350g / 12oz sweetcorn

1 avocado
Handfull cherry tomatoes
Small fist of fresh coriander (cilantro)
Juice of 1 small lime
Pinch of rock salt 

6 pieces streaky bacon 
Maple syrup
Hot sauce

Start by making your guacamole (not traditional guac, I call this breakfast guac). 
Quarter your tomatoes, chop your coriander, scoop out your avocado, squeeze on your lime, sprinkle your salt & mash together using a fork. Keep it chunky & leave to one side. 


In one bowl pop your flour, baking powder, salt, pepper & paprika. 
In another beat your eggs & milk together. 
Slowly pour your wet bowl into your dry bowl and stir until you get a smooth batter. Add your sweetcorn & mix it all in. 


Put your bacon on to cook & heat up another frying pan with olive or groundnut oil to cook your fritters. When the oil's hot, add a big spoonful and try and keep it to a circular(ish) shape.


Cook for a couple mins before flipping.


Cook for another couple of mins, more if you think it needs it and put it on a plate with some kitchen roll somewhere warm while you make the rest.
When you're ready, it's time to stack!






Enjoy with mimosas & a big hot cup of coffee. 
Eyerolling & talking with your mouthful "ohmygoditssogoooood", absolutely compulsory.

  3. Looks delish, all my favourite things on one plate. I'm going to make this very soon. I also LOVE your skinny shrimp bowls, such a great idea and so little cals.

      Yum! I cannot wait to try these. I don't eat pork and was wondering if they were still good with just the guac? (and a pretty healthy option I suppose!)

      Also, what brand of foundation/tinted moisturiser do you use on your face in your daytime looks? You've been glowing recently and look flawless! I'd like to buy some of whatever your using!

  9. I make these mini for canape parties, everyone's favourite in the Summer. If you're making small ones you have to blitz the corn as well as keeping some kernels whole. You take it to the next level with the maple syrup. Mmm.

    Noooooooo!!!

    Never mash your guacamole with a metal fork (nor in a metal bowl). The metal oxidises it and turns it a dull colour. To keep the brightest green, use a wooden spoon to mash it - and a ceramic/plastic bowl!

    Otherwise, Yum!

  20. Oh that looks so good! I especially like the look of the very crispy bacon. Bacon isn't bacon unless it crunches in your mouth. Mmmmmmm bacon....

    Why do you always ignore questions about your BB cream/an exercise post? If you don't want to say or you don't want to write one you should just say so that people can stop wondering and hoping!

    1. Seems silly to talk about them in a recipe post! I'm trying to organise an exercise post but believe it or not it's actually quite a lot of work!! I have other things to do and it's not top of my priority list. I've answered the foundation question a million times so will do a beauty post soon, they just make me very uncomfortable!
      I can't satisfy everyone all the time Anon! I do try. x

      The perfect answer. Some people are dumb. Chances are she exercises like she eats. healthy and in moderation. She loves to swim, she's said that, she stays active and eats right. Let her write about what she wants to write about. That's what makes this the best blog any of us read! These look ridiculously good. I'm making them tomorrow! Have a good weekend Rosie!

      Thank you for responding, Rose :) I read your blog avidly including the comments and just notice that you seem to be happy to answer certain questions but not the ones I mentioned - I was just wondering if there was a reason for it or if we could expect answers. Thank you for clearing it up.

      To the other people who've replied, I wasn't trying to influence what Rose writes, just asking about why she ignores those questions in particular. I think it's a shame that people can be so aggressive towards one another in the comments section. To call people "dumb" or even "certifiable wackadoodles" is actually pretty offensive, ableist language quite apart from the aggression with which they were intended. Let's just all take a breath and try to be nice to one another shall we :)

    6. Rosie, you are so sweet to feel uncomfortable about talking about your beauty :) But I think it's not a matter of saying 'this is how you can look like me', it's just a bit of a girl talk. Love you lots!

    Hey rose,
    this looks perfect for brunch,but I'm wheat intolerant. Could you use corn flour as a substitute in the fritter recipe?

  61. I have to try these, I think I can make them even easier here in the US with a thing we call bisquick, it's a premixed baking mix, so everything you need as the base for biscuits, cakes, pancakes, bread, muffins, it all starts with the same basic ingredients and this stuff is ready for you just needs the liquids.
