Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Whitebait
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
- 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, milk, salt, and ground black pepper until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
Gently fold the whitebait and chopped parsley into the batter, ensuring that the fish is evenly coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter mixture into the pan to form small patties, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
Cook the patties for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Use a slotted spatula to flip them carefully.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter, adding additional oil to the pan if necessary.
Serve the whitebait patties hot with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
