These corn and courgette fritters are best served hot with crème fraiche or sweet chilli (or both).

Fritters are a breezy midweek meal, served within a half hour. They’re best enjoyed with seasonal fare — calling for corn and courgettes at this sunny time of year. Serve with a balsamic-drenched side salad. You could also swap fresh corn for frozen in the colder months.
