Herb Fritters
Deep Fried Method
DOUGH:
Place the flour into a deep mixing bowl and make a hollow
in the center then add the water into the hollow, salt and
2 tablespoons of the butter. Stir slowly until all of the
ingredients are well mixed and the water is totally absorbed.
Beat vigorously with a large spoon until a firm stiff dough
is formed. Gather the dough into a ball then on a floured
surface roll the dough ball out into a rectangle approximately
16 x 18 inches. Brush the dough with the remaining butter
and fold into quarters then roll it out as thinly as possible.
Cut into a 16 x 18 inch rectangle the cut that into 48 each
2 inch squares.
FILLING:
Combine the salt, pepper, scallions, garlic, parsley and dill.
Cut the butter into tiny bits and chill until the dough is
ready. Place a teaspoon of the filling mix into the center
of each square, add a piece of the butter to each. Draw up
the corners and pinch them together firmly thus closing the
filling into the dough. Heat enough oil in a deep fryer and
heat then drop in 4 to 6 of the filled squares. Cook for 4
minutes, remove from the oil and drain then serve the Herb
Fritters Deep Fried warm.
SAUCE:
Melt the butter then add the chopped onions, salt, pepper
and the vinegar. Cook for 4 minutes then add the remaining
ingredients. Stir constantly until it thickens. Remove from
the heat and add the lemon juice and serve over the Herb Fritters
Deep Fried.
