Lazy Egg and Green Onion Fritters

Appetizing, quick, made from simple ingredients — and absolutely delicious! These lazy egg and green onion fritters don't need to be shaped by hand — the batter is a pour-and-fry kind, a lot like a fritter batter but a bit thicker. The filling goes right into the batter, and they cook up in a skillet.

Step 1:

How do you make lazy egg and green onion fritters? Start with the filling by boiling the eggs. How do you hard-boil eggs? Put them in cold water and set them over low heat. Boil for 9 minutes after the water comes to a boil, then plunge them into cold water to cool — the sudden temperature change makes them easier to peel. Peel the eggs and cut them into medium cubes with a knife or an egg slicer. Wash the green onion and chop it finely.
Step 2:

Make the batter. How do you make a pour-and-fry batter for these fritters? Crack the egg into a deep bowl and add the salt. Beat well with a whisk or fork.
Step 3:

Pour in the room-temperature kefir and add the baking soda (there's no need to slake it — the acid in the kefir will activate it) and mix everything well.
Step 4:

Add the pre-sifted flour, or sift it straight into the bowl through a strainer. Sifting is important — it works air into the flour, so the fritters come out light and rise well as they cook. Start stirring the batter with a spoon or silicone spatula. It should be a bit thicker than a fritter batter. Stir until smooth, with no lumps.
Step 5:

Last, fold the chopped hard-boiled eggs and green onion into the batter. The batter is ready.
Step 6:

Heat a little vegetable oil in a skillet. Spoon the batter into rounds, spacing them apart since they'll spread as they cook. Fry over low heat for 3–4 minutes per side, so they cook through and aren't raw in the middle. Remove the finished fritters and fry the next batches. I got 11. Add a little more oil between batches as needed.

A great quick recipe for lazy fritters you can whip up when you're short on time. Serve them for breakfast or lunch. They taste every bit as good as the shaped-by-hand kind, but they're far simpler to make. Save this recipe so you always have it on hand. Cook with love, plenty of joy, and a good mood!
Be ready to use a little more or a little less flour than the recipe calls for. Go by the consistency of the batter rather than the exact amount of flour — different flours behave differently.
Use a high-smoke-point oil for frying. Every oil is only healthy up to a certain temperature — its smoke point — beyond which it starts to burn and forms harmful compounds. Unrefined oils, with few exceptions, have a low smoke point: they're full of unfiltered particles that scorch quickly. Refined oils stand up to heat better and have a higher smoke point. Whether you're baking, pan-frying, or grilling, use an oil with a high smoke point. Common ones include refined sunflower, olive, and grapeseed oil.
