Lazy onion-and-egg fritters

Ingredients

• kefir – 220 ml
• eggs – 1 pc
• sugar – 1 tbsp
• bicarbonate of soda – 0.5 tsp
• salt – to taste
• pepper – to taste
• plain flour – 200 g
• hard-boiled eggs – 2 pcs
• spring onion – 30 g
• sunflower oil for frying

Method

1. Step 1

   Sunflower oil, for frying.

   
2. Step 2

   Beat the egg with the sugar until the sugar starts to dissolve.

   
3. Step 3

   Pour in room-temperature kefir (or warm it slightly).

   
4. Step 4

   Add bicarbonate and flour. Mix to a thick batter so the fritters puff. Season with salt and pepper; don’t overmix.

   
5. Step 5

   Boil the eggs, dice them small and fold into the batter.

   
6. Step 6

   Chop the spring onion finely and fold through so egg and onion are even.

   
7. Step 7

   Heat sunflower oil in a deep, heavy pan. Dip the spoon in a glass of cold water so the batter slips off in one piece. I use a dessert spoon; a tablespoon makes larger fritters.

   
8. Step 8

   Keep the heat medium so they cook through, not just scorch. When bubbles burst on top, turn. Fry both sides until golden.
