Ingredients

    • 200g thawed whitebait
    • cleaned
    • 1/2 cup plain flour
    • 1/4 cup rice flour
    • 1/4 tsp baking powder
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
    • 1 egg
    • lightly beaten
    • 1/4 cup cold water
    • Vegetable oil
    • for frying
    • Lemon wedges
    • for serving
    • Fresh parsley
    • chopped (optional
    • for garnish)

Steps

  1. In a bowl, mix the plain flour, rice flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the lightly beaten egg and cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms.
  3. Carefully fold the fresh whitebait into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Test the oil by dropping in a small amount of batter – it should sizzle.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the batter with whitebait into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy.
  6. Transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
  7. Serve the fritters hot with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if desired.
