Step 1

Abbreviated recipe

Step 2

Mix the Batter ingredients. Stir in the Add-ins. Scoop, flatten, cook 1 1/2 minutes each side. Eat!

Step 3

Full instructions

Step 4

Lemon Yogurt Dipping Sauce - Mix the ingredients together in a bowl and set aside while you cook the fritters to let the flavours meld.

Step 5

Fritter batter - Mix the Batter ingredients until combined. Add the Add-ins, then mix until the batter coats all the peas. It will look like waaaay too much peas for batter, but have faith! The batter will set as it cooks.

Step 6

Measure & flatten - Heat enough oil to cover the base of a pan on medium high (~2 1/2 tbsp). Pack a 3 tbsp cookie scoop (#20) or 1/4 cup measure firmly with the mixture. Place mound in the pan, then flatten to 1.25 / 0.5" thick. Repeat to to fill the pan (I do 4 - 5 at a time)

Step 7

Cook - Cook for 1 1/2 minutes until the underside is golden, then turn and cook the other side for 1 1/2 minutes until golden and crispy. Transfer onto a paper towel lined tray. Repeat with remaining batter to make 9 -10 in total.
