Ingredients:
- 250g whitebait
- 3 Eggs - 2 yolks and 3 whites
- 1 serving butter to fry
- 1 serving oil, to fry
- 2 slices fresh bread, whichever your favourite is
- 1 squeeze lemon juice, to serve
Method:
-
Mix whitebait and egg yolks in a bowl with a little salt and pepper.
-
Whisk the whites in a separate bowl until almost firm, but not dry, and gently fold them into the yolk/whitebait mixture (key - don't stir the whites in too vigorously, gently does it when mixing the two together or you'll lose all the air from the egg white).
-
Heat up a fry pan, add some butter and olive oil (just enough to stop the butter from burning) and dollop spoonfuls of the whitebait mixture into the hot butter.
-
Fry until golden on both sides and jam the fritter into some freshly buttered bread, or just eat by themselves - with a dash of lemon juice.
