PARSNIP FRITTERS

100g self raising flour
salt and black pepper
1 egg
140ml milk
2 large parsnips, peeled and diced
oil for frying

Makes 12 

Place the parsnips in a pan of boiling water. Bring back to the boil and simmer for about 10 minutes until soft.

Beat the egg with the milk.
Pour this into the flour and whisk well to make a batter.
Add the cooked parsnips and season well.

Heat a small amount of oil in a pan and add large spoonfuls of the batter. 

Fry for a few minutes, then turn using a spatula.

Fry in batches, keeping the rest warm under a low grill if needed. 

Lovely served with a mixed salad and a dollop of chutney.
