Mix then slowly add more water until you get a consistency a bit thicker than buttermilk pancake mix, but still able to pour. (can’t think of a better way to describe. However if you follow the measurements you should reach the right consistency) 7. Once you have the mixture. Set aside and heat cooking oil in a good non stick frying pan. 8. Once oil is heated, turn to a medium heat & use a tablespoon to start scooping in mixture to make fritters roughly 3.5 inches in diameter. You will need at least 2 generous scoops for each fritter. 9. Fry the fritters on each side for roughly 4 minutes or until the bottom is firm and able to flip. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN FLIPPING. REMEMBER THE OIL IS HOT! Fritters can be served alone as a snack. Or can be a side to Ackee, Callaloo, Mackerel or just about any of your favourite dishes. For a vegan version simple leave out Saltfish or use heart of palms to replace the Saltfish.

Make an egg wash with eggs and sprinkle a little black pepper. 7. Add oil to a large Jamaica Valley Dutch pot. Turn fire on the highest temperature. Heat oil to 325°F / 160°C 8. One piece at a time, Dip the chicken pieces in egg wash turning so it is well coated. The egg wash will help the coating stick to the chicken. 9. Transfer the dipped chicken piece into the flour mixture ensure that you coat well on all sides. 10. Turn the heat of stove to a medium heat once the oil has reached it’s maximum temperature. (If you leave the oil at the highest flame when you add the chicken the coating will be ready before the meat is cooked inside and we definitely do not want that). 11. Start adding the chicken pieces one by one. Do not over crowd the pot. Give each piece of chicken space to fry without knocking against other pieces. 12. Keep turning the pieces so they fry evenly on each side. Put the lid on dutch pot so they chicken can steam inside while frying outside. 13. After approx 7 minutes frying on each side poke the chicken through at a point where it is closest to the bone as this is the part of the chicken that finishes cooking last. 14. Once you remove the fork if liquid seeps out the chicken is not ready. 15. If the chicken is already golden brown but not cooked inside, don’t panic. 16. Turn the heat to low and finish cooking. Alternatively you may choose to place on grease proof paper & finish cooking in the oven. (If you follow these steps the oven option should not be necessary) 17. Once chicken has cooked through and is golden brown, place in a tray lined with kitchen napkins / roll. Alternatively & cooking rack.
