    Cup of Yum

  3. Add broccoli and remaining Fritter ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
  4. Add enough oil in skillet to cover base. Heat to medium high.
  5. Dollop 1/4 cup mixture into skillet, then pat down. (Note 2)

Notes

  • Broccoli - if you boil it, leave in colander for a while so excess water in florets steams out.
  • Cooking tips - standard ice cream scooper with lever is handy here, it's 1/4 cup. Don't aim for perfectly round, squiggly = more ridges = more crispy bits! Get 2 pans going if you can.
  • Nutrition per fritter, excluding pink sauce. 4 - 5 fritters is sufficient for a meal with sides. Try this Lemon Potato Salad, No Knead Rolls or a quick Irish Soda Bread.
