Rice Fritters

When talking to my dear friend, Isabel, the other day she mentioned that her children had always liked Rice Fritters (and now in their 50's still do).

I had never heard of Rice Fritters and they didn't sound very interesting but she gave me the recipe and yesterday I had some left-over rice and made some.  They were delicious.  Not very exciting to look at!


Here is the recipe.

Beat 2 eggs with 1/4 cup flour, 1 heaped tsp baking powder and 2 tbsp milk.
Add 1 cup cooked rice
         1 cup grated cheese
         1 finely chopped onion and salt and pepper

fry spoonfuls in hot greased pan and enjoy.

I made half this quantity and used gluten free flour.  I also substituted some red capsicum for the onion and had them with capsicum chutney.  Some salad would have been nice but I didn't have any.

The half quantity made three quite large fritters and I ate them all.  The cheese melted and was yummy.  (They could have been called Cheese Fritters.

It was another cold day and it is amazing how cats can find any bit of warmth.  Kim found some sun by the bookcase.


At 3.30 p.m. Bruce, who built our house in 1967, brought me a load of firewood for the pot-belly stove.  We were getting showers at that stage but I kept going until 5.15 p.m. and got it all moved to the shed and stacked.  I had been getting very low so it is a good feeling to know I have plenty once again.
