Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, sift 1 cup of self-raising flour.
- Crack 2 eggs into the bowl and whisk them into the flour until well combined.
- Gradually add 3/4 cup of milk, whisking continuously to create a smooth batter.
- Add 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese and mix until evenly distributed.
- Fold in 1 cup of finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
- Add 1/2 cup of chopped fresh basil leaves.
- Gently fold in 1/2 cup of ricotta cheese.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, and mix well.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of oil or cooking spray.
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the pan, cooking a few fritters at a time and ensuring they don't touch.
- Cook each fritter for about 2-3 minutes on one side or until bubbles start to form on the surface.
- Flip the fritters carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown and the fritters are cooked through.
- Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve warm, either as-is or with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh basil leaves, if desired.
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for easier mixing and better consistency.
- Use fresh basil leaves for a more vibrant and aromatic flavor.
- Pat the sun-dried tomatoes dry with a paper towel if they are packed in oil to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
- If you want crunchier fritters, you can fry them instead of baking them.
- Serve the fritters with a light yogurt dip or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
