Recipe video above. This is a super handy recipe for when your fridge is looking a little bare, because who doesn’t have some frozen peas lurking in the back of your freezer? Grab them and a bag of pre-shredded cheese, and you’ll have a stack of these crispy golden fritters on the table in 20 minutes flat! PS The more rustic they are, the better. Because rustic = ragged edges = more crispy cheesy edges. OBSESSED.

- Mix the Batter ingredients. Stir in the Add-ins. Scoop, flatten, cook 1 1/2 minutes each side. Eat!
- Lemon Yogurt Dipping Sauce - Mix the ingredients together in a bowl and set aside while you cook the fritters to let the flavours meld.
- Fritter batter - Mix the Batter ingredients until combined. Add the Add-ins, then mix until the batter coats all the peas. It will look like waaaay too much peas for batter, but have faith! The batter will set as it cooks.
- Measure & flatten - Heat enough oil to cover the base of a pan on medium high (~2 1/2 tbsp). Pack a 3 tbsp cookie scoop (#20) or 1/4 cup measure firmly with the mixture. Place mound in the pan, then flatten to 1.25 / 0.5" thick. Repeat to to fill the pan (I do 4 - 5 at a time)
- Cook - Cook for 1 1/2 minutes until the underside is golden, then turn and cook the other side for 1 1/2 minutes until golden and crispy. Transfer onto a paper towel lined tray. Repeat with remaining batter to make 9 -10 in total.
- Serve with Lemon Yogurt Dipping Sauce!
