There have been no eggs in the dwelling, I did not want to go to the shops, the courgettes in the backyard garden ended up ripe for the buying, and I needed to make courgette fritters. And we Aries varieties do not like it when situations say no.
Uncooked courgettes are extremely watery so the liquid demands to be taken out just before making these fritters if you do not want them to be a soggy disappointment.
You can make these with egg if you like just add 1 beaten egg when you blend the other ingredients. But they turned out fantastic devoid of eggs.
