Simple courgette fritters
Looking for a quick and healthy dinner idea? These golden courgette fritters are a seasonal classic that never fails.
Equipment
- cheesecloth or clean kitchen towel
Ingredients
- 400 g courgette
- 2 eggs
- 4 tbsp wheat flour
- 1 tbsp potato starch / corn starch (optional)
- 2-3 tbsp oil (for frying)
- 2 pinch of salt
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash the courgette and grate it using the large holes of a box grater. Transfer it to a bowl, toss with a pinch of salt, and set aside for a few minutes to let it release its juices.
- Transfer the courgette to a cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel and thoroughly squeeze out the excess water.
- Add the eggs, all-purpose flour, potato starch, and a pinch of salt to the squeezed courgette. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
- Heat a small amount of oil in a frying pan. Spoon out portions of the batter and fry over medium heat on both sides until the pancakes are golden brown. If needed, flip them 2-3 times to ensure they are perfectly cooked through.
- Serve immediately after frying with your favorite toppings, such as a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of sugar for a sweet version.
