Ceps Fritters Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 pound fresh ceps (also known as porcini mushrooms)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions:

1. Clean ceps and slice them into small pieces.
2. In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and milk together.
4. Add the egg and milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until it is well combined and smooth.
5. Add the sliced ceps to the batter and mix well.
6. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Test the heat by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil, it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
7. Using a tablespoon, scoop the batter and drop it carefully into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy (around 4-5 minutes).
8. Drain the ceps fritters on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
9. Serve hot with a dipping sauce of your choice.

Verdict and Serving Suggestions:

Ceps fritters are a delicious appetizer or side dish that are perfect for any occasion. The crispy coating on the outside contrasts perfectly with the soft and tender ceps mushrooms inside. They pair perfectly with a tangy dipping sauce like garlic aioli or a spicy tomato salsa. Serve them hot and enjoy it with a cold beverage.
