Cod Fritters

This is a dish that can be served as an appetizer or to complete a meal. It goes very well with molasses.

You can use salted cod (desalting previously for several hours, of course) or frozen, which is slightly salted. Lately, I'm using the frozen option because it is more convenient.

A variation is to replace regular flour and baking powder with tempura flour.
Another variant is to replace the yeast and water with beer.

COD FRITTERS (for 2)

150 g unsalted cod
3 heaping tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
Chopped parsley
Yellow food colouring (or turmeric)
Water
Oil for frying

Flake the cod and carefully remove all bones. Add the flour, baking powder, garlic, parsley and colouring. Stir a bit and add water slowly until you get a pasty consistency.
In a pan put plenty of oil for frying and when it is hot enough put teaspoons of the mixture. Fry until golden brown. They should be crispy on the outside and tender inside.
