ALL VEGETABLES HAVE OT BE PREPARED AS IN TGGD BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH  ANY RECIPE

Fritters have been around for hundreds of years, sometimes they are called pancakes, griddle cakes or even cakes.

This is a basic batter recipe and you may add whatever filling you like, vegetable, meat or even fish.

1 cup wholewheat flour

1/4 tsp ground black pepper
2 large eggs beaten
1/2-3/4 cup milk, nut milk is fine, or filtered water
oil for frying

In a medium bowl, using a wooden spoon ( don't use a whisk as it is important to work the gluten in the flour..the more it is stretched and worked the crisper the fritter, whisks simply cut in)...mix the dry together, make a well and add the egg and  mix well then add the milk gradually beating, until smooth.
The mixture should coat the back of the wooden spoon, and be like thick, whipped cream.
Allow the mix to rest before adding the "filling": (the filling should be up to 2 cups, any combination you chose plus any fresh or dried herbs of choice)
