  • 2 large eggs seperated
  • 50 g plain flour
  • 2 tbsp baking powder

  • 150 ml extra virgin olive oil

To serve

  • Maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • For the batter, add the milk and egg yolks to a bowl and whisk together until the mixture is completely combined. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Place the flour and baking powder in an electric mixing bowl and mix while slowly adding the egg and milk mixture, until just combined to make a batter (do not overmix it).

  • To serve, drizzle with maple syrup and add a squeeze of lemon juice.

Notes

Tip: For light and fluffy fritters, ensure the batter is not overmixed.
