Original recipe yield: 40 fritters.
Servings:
20

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 3/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 6 tablespoons shallots, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 6 cups grated carrots
  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 cup bearnaise sauce

DIRECTIONS:

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, milk, shallots, parsley, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Gently fold in the carrots; be careful not to overmix. Cover, and refrigerate for 3 hours.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fat fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lower the batter by heaping tablespoonful into the hot oil. Do not crowd the fritters, fry only a few at a time. Fry until fritters are golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and drain well on paper towels. Serve immediately with Bearnaise sauce.


Editor's Note:

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
