Clam Fritters: serves 4
Ingredients
1 cup chopped clams
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp chopped tarragon (or substitute dry tarragon or marjoram)
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup flour
1/4 cup clam juice
1/4 cup milk
1 1/2 tbsp melted butter
couple dashes cayenne pepper (to taste)
freshly ground black pepper to taste
oil for frying
Directions
Chop clams on a cutting board. Not too fine. Place them in a mixing bowl.
Add the egg, lemon juice, tarragon, baking soda and flour and stir.
Blend the clam juice and milk. Add gradually to the clam mixture, stirring continuously. Do not make the batter too runny.
Stir in the butter, cayenne and black pepper.
Heat about 1/8 inch of oil in a frying pan.
Drop batter in the hot oil – about 2 tablespoons per fritter. (They’ll cook better if they’re fairly small.)
Turn when the bottom is browned, as you would for pancakes.
We served these with salmon sauce. Tarter sauce, shrimp sauce, or a squeeze of lemon works well, too. These seemed to beg for an amber ale. (Or maybe it’s Barbra and me doing the begging after nine months of living in a dry village!) Enjoy!
