chip shop style pea fritters??

the_other_mce

Hello all,
I'd love to make some chip shop style pea fritters. Does anyone have any 'inside' knowledge as to how chippies make them taste so good??? Or a foolproof batter recipe that will work??? I've already soaked and cooked my peas and they are lovely and mushy.
Thanks in advance...

Our local tescos sells chip shop style battter mix that tastes good, but I haven't worked out how to get the batter to stick to the peas. So sorry, not much help!

I think it might involve freezing the peas into a cake, then taking the frozen cake out, dipping it in batter and frying it

blairweech, your right had this conversation with my friend who works in the local chip. The mushy peas were keeped in the fridge, dipped in batter then fried stright away. good lick.

Wow, we were just talking about pea fritters last week. I used to work in a chip shop that made them (yes, just frozen in a 'burger' shape then dipped in batter and fried). I don't know anywhere that sells them now.

You need your batter to be thick enough to stick, and you must ensure that the peas are fully coated with batter, otherwise they'll melt and drip out of the batter before it's cooked.

Almost all of our local chippies sell them, but you have to ask, they have to cook them specially. I'm lucky
