Clam Fritters

Ingredients

• 2 egg yolks well beaten
• ½ cup milk (120ml)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ⅞ cup flour (approx. 105g)
• salt, pepper, cayenne
• 2 egg whites stiffly beaten
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Method

1. Combine ingredients in order given; let stand ten minutes.
2. Remove clams from shell, cut off heads, cover with batter, and fry until golden brown in hot fat.
3. Drain on brown paper.
4. As clams contain so much water, only a few should be put into the fat at once.
5. Oysters in batter may be prepared in the same way as Clam Fritters.
