Using leftovers to make something special
Small butternut fritters, sprinkled with sesame seeds, served as a side dish
I hate throwing out leftovers, and sometimes you have to get creative.
I had:
3/4 cup Yorkshire pudding batter (very runny mix of eggs, flour and milk)
1 cup of roasted savoury butternut (garlic, chilli, fennel seeds)
I added a couple of teaspoons of baking powder and enough flour to make a fritter batter – still runny enough to slowly slide off a spoon by itself.
I dripped half a tablespoon at a time into a hot pan with a little oil, taking care not crowd the pan.
This made about 16 x 3 -4cm fritters.
Sprinkled them with sesame seeds.
I served these as a side with beef fried rice.
