SPAM™ Fritters
This traditional fritter recipe comes from the 'SPAM COOKBOOK' by Marguerite Patten.
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 340g/12oz SPAM® Chopped Pork and Ham
- Oil for frying or deep frying
- Batter: 125g/4oz (1 cup) Plain flour Pinch of salt 1 Large egg 125ml/4 fl oz (half cup) Milk, or milk and water, or water, or beer
Method
- Mix together all the batter ingredients in a bowl. The mixture should be thick, in the proportions given above, in order to coat the SPAM® well. Cut the SPAM® into 8 slices.
- Meanwhile, heat 2-3 tablespoons oil in a frying pan or wok, or heat a depth of oil in a deep-fryer to 170oC/340oF or until a cube of day-old bread turns golden in 1 minute.
- Coat the SPAM® slices once or twice with the batter then drop them into the hot oil. If shallow frying allow 2-3 minutes on each side; if deep frying allow a total cooking time of 3-4 minutes, turning over the fritters as required. Drain on kitchen paper. Serve with mash.
