It's Friday Fritter Day!

Plate of vegetable fritters served with salad

Corn & zucchini fritters, served with salad and mint yoghurt dressing. I made enough to feed a small army, so the freezer will be filled with many future fritters too.

I love corn fritters! And big batches are necessary, eggs don’t come in halves or quarters.

I used 3 eggs in this batch! 22 fritters in total.

I forgot to add to my other comment - powdered eggs are a thing. They are perfect for when you want to make something like fritters or pancakes in amounts smaller than one egg worth.

I know they exist but have never used them. I do have a fabulous 70s cook book called the Other Half of the Egg. It’s set up for just whites or yolks, and how many. Like ok, I baked a pav, what can I do with 6 yolks?

Lemon curd. Really rich custard. Quiche. Mayonnaise and/or bearnaise (which I like better). Will look for this tome on the interwebs.

Thanks! I notice one of the authors is Jacques Pepin, who is one of my culinary heroes.
