Notes

Tip
As you fry these in batches you will need to make sure that your oil doesn’t get too hot or the mixture won’t cook through properly. I like to turn the heat down after the first two batches.
Tip
It’s best to drain these on paper towel after frying.
Tip
To keep warm just pop them into an oven that has been preheated to 150’C while you finish cooking.
Tip
You can also freeze these after frying and re-heat in the oven when you need them.
Storage
freeze after frying and re-heat in the oven
