Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Tip the flour into a bowl, season, then gradually stir in the eggs and milk until you have a smooth batter. Stir in the cheese and half the chives.
  2. In a dry non-stick frying pan, cook courgette over a high heat, stirring for 3-4 mins until just soft. Tip onto kitchen paper and squeeze dry, then stir into the batter.
  3. Oil the pan, then drop in small ladlefuls of batter, cooking for a couple of mins on each side until golden. Continue until you have 12 fritters, then transfer to a baking tray and finish in the oven for 8 mins.

    Really easy to make and very tasty. Crsipy on the outside and soft on the inside. Had ours for lunch with salad.

    Made this a couple of times now, it so easy. I made it with the spinich and tomato salad they reccomended in the september good food, it went so well with it, I did subsitute a tsp of sherry vinegar for a tsp of lemon oil, bought at the good food show!! It worked wonderfully, sort of a sweet and sour taste. yum!

    My 2yr old daughter is a wee bit finicky about what she eats but these were a HUGE hit and it really was a pleasure to see her inhale them with cherry tomatoes! The 2nd time I tried it, I mixed in some curry powder which gave it a nice little spicy kick.

    Yummy! BF claimed he "could eat this all day" and scoffed the lot! Simple and tasty. I served with a spinach, cherry tomato, feta and red onion salad. Didn't like the idea of squeezing the courgettes dry so put them in a sieve and got rid of excess liquid that way.

    Made these for my little 2 year old granddaughter for her lunch last week, but instead of using milk, I used chicken stock. She ate 6! I then tried it out with steamed mashed pumpkin, using less chicken stock & 1 egg only & the rest of the ingredients. I'm not sure the recipe has changed in form, but all I know is that my granddaughter loved them. The recipe is easy & ideal for toddlers. I would rate it with 41/2 stars.

    I seem to be in a minority here, but didn't rate these at all - we could barely taste the courgette, and for me the pancake taste/texture wasn't good with salad. Perhaps as part of brunch with bacon? Not for me though, would have preferred the salad with some griddled courgettes, followed by lemon pancakes.

    Too much egg for me, so the second time I halved the batter mixture and felt the proportions were much better. Served with tomatoes, green salad and sweet chili sauce. Planning to add some sweetcorn next time.

    After reading the comments, I added an extra courgette and then a red onion and a little garlic. We had them as part of a Sunday morning brunch and they went down a storm.

    These were brilliant. We added around 50% more courgette like some of the other reviewers, which I'd definitely advise as they could be a bit greasy without the extra veg. Next time I might look at giving them a more distinctive flavour - maybe garlic, paprika or chilli flakes.
