Courgette fritters

Ingredients :
100g/4oz self-raising flour
2 eggs, beaten
50ml/2fl oz milk
300g/11oz courgettes, grated
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

How to make
- Sift the flour into a large bowl, and make a well in the centre. Add the eggs to the well, and gradually draw in the flour from the sides using a wooden spoon.
- Slowly add the milk to the mixture, stirring constantly to form a thick batter. Add the courgettes and thyme, season with salt and pepper, and mix thoroughly.
- Heat the oil in a large heavy frying pan until hot. Cooking in batches, carefully drop in tablespoons of the
batter to make the fritters. Shallowfry for 3 minutes on each side.
- Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon, and drain on kitchen paper. Serve hot.
