Tips and Hints
- For crispy fritters use half rice flour and half regular flour.
- Rice flour can also be used in total to make gluten free fritters.
- Transferring the fritters to a preheated oven (180°C) helps to make sure the fritters are cooked through and also keep them warm while the others are still cooking.
- Excess feta can be frozen and added to recipes at a later date. The flavour will stay the same although it may lose some texture.
