I feel that if I am serious about being a
writer I need to have these punny titles occasionally, I do apologise.

Fritter
Testing Platter
Fizzy
Water
Nothing Else!
Some while ago I suddenly made Cauliflower Cheese Fritters and wrote in the relevant post that I supposed 100g of any leftover could be
similarly treated. Today I put it to the test with random stuff out of the
fridge.

Useful All Purpose Fritter Batter
2 tbsp flour
1 tsp baking powder
seasonings ~ sweet fritters, require sugar, of course
1 egg
a little milk
approx 100g of leftovers
~ Mix
together the dry ingredients.
~ Stir in the egg and enough milk to make a thick
batter.
~ Stir
in the leftovers.

Fry by the spoonfuls in a little hot oil till crisp and golden on both
sides.
I divided the batter in four and added the following - from the back ...
1. 25g of grated Cornish Crackler and
a pinch of mustard powder.
2. 25g of diced courgette cooked
with garlic and a spoonful of Parmesan.
It is drizzled with balsamic glaze.
3. A few more bits of diced courgette
which I cooked with about 20g of finely diced chorizo and Exotic Peppercorn Mix (as it says on the grinder!).
4. 25g mashed chickpeas and ¼
teaspoon curry paste.
Doesn't look bad, does it! Conclusion – yes, that works.
As you can see in the last few days running
up to my book’s deadline I am busy checking a few things here and there. I did find a recipe which I had inexplicably written in a combination of imperial, metric and American measurements. It reminded me of my funny brother-in-law once
saying something was an inch yard and a thick wide.
All this picking at the thing is daft really because I think it’s about as good as I can do. Once I've sent it off I think I shall have a meal entirely made of brand new ingredients just to celebrate!
