Worth Knowing Before You Cook

Squeeze the grated vegetables very dry.

Use only enough flour to bind.

Press the fritters flat so they cook through.

Keep the first batch warm in a low oven.

Ingredient Swaps

  • Out of spring onions? A small regular onion, finely sliced, or a few chives stirred in at the end both cover the job.

Storing and Reheating

Keeps in the fridge for 3 days. Reheat in a hot oven to crisp them.
