What a good idea for a summer meal
Very delicious i added onion and parsley for extra taste. Even smells good too.
This is a good basic fritter batter. Any fresh herbs could be added for more flavour. I used chives, thyme, tarragon and oregano; because that is what I had on hand. For meal size fritters 10 -12 would be the most you could get from the amount of batter. They were very nice and I will make them again when I have left over corned beef. I think they would freeze well too.
Thank you Lyn.
You could also make bite size fritters to have as a finger food or snack.
Great basic batter. added vegetables and herbs to make them even more tasty
Sometimes we forget that simple is best. This recipe is that.
I made my corned beef fritters with cheese, they stuck to the pan a bit but tasted so good
I have used a recipe very similar to this for many years to use up left over ‘meat” not only corned beef.
Thanks for all the different ideas.
