- 5 T. flour
- 5 T. olive oil plus more for frying
- Panko bread crumbs to roll fritters in
Mix all ingredients and form into small round balls. Roll in panko bread crumbs. (Note: very messy). Deep fry until golden brown or form into half-dollar size patties (similar to making potato pancakes) and fry each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Note: Serve with Tzatziki sauce for dipping. Serve for Shavuot or Sukkot.
