Ingredients
 
 

  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder

Notes

💭 Top Tips
  • Most courgettes hold a lot of water, which can make soggy fritters. Put the grated courgette in a sieve over the sink. Next, use you hands to squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Leave the courgette on a couple of pieces of kitchen paper, to soak up the remaining moisture.
  • To get the fritters crispy it's better to leave them undisturbed for at least 2 minutes before you check them.
  • They will easily move away from the bottom of the pan when they are done.
  • It's easier to cook them in batches, rather than try to cook them all at once.
