Whitebait Fritters

Ingredients

• 400g whitebait
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup flour (I use gluten free and am delighted with the results)
• juice of one big lemon
• 1 tsp salt
• black pepper in abundance
• Splash of beer to make it the right consistency (whitebait packs have different amounts of liquid)

Method

Put whitebait in a bowl and beat in other ingredients. Make into patties.  Fry in butter or oil mix until crisp.
