Description
A recipe for making basic broccoli fritters.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups broccoli florets, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Steam or boil the chopped broccoli until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well and pat dry with paper towels.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
- Add the cooked broccoli, beaten egg, Parmesan cheese, and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, flattening slightly with the back of the spoon to form fritters.
- Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- You can substitute cheddar cheese for Parmesan if you prefer a different flavor.
- For crispier fritters, ensure the cooked broccoli is very dry before mixing it into the batter.
