The best-ever whitebait fritter recipe I have come to rely on was given to me by my good friend Felicity, also known as Flic. It’s also flourless.
Ingredients
| 250 g | Whitebait (Main) |
| 3 | Eggs, 2 yolks and 3 whites |
| 1 serving | Butter, to fry |
| 1 serving | Olive oil, to fry |
| 1 serving | Toast bread slices, to serve |
| 1 squeeze | Lemon juice, to serve |

Directions
- Mix whitebait and yolks and a little salt and pepper. Whisk the whites until almost firm, but not dry, and fold into the whitebait.
- Heat up a pan, adding some butter and olive oil, and dollop spoonfuls of the mixture into the sizzling fat.
- Fry until golden on both sides then eat on hot buttered toast, or simply just eat with your fingers with lemon juice squeezed over them.
