• In a separate bowl beat the egg whites until soft peaks form when the beater is lifted from the whites.
  
• Gently mix the whites into the corn mixture, taking care not to overmix.

Notes

• Transferring the fritters to a preheated oven (180°C) helps to make sure the fritters are cooked through and also keep them warm while the others are still cooking.
• To substitute regular flour for the self-raising add 1 rounded teaspoon of baking powder to ¾ cup regular flour.
