These savory fritters from teens Emily & Lyla Allen (known as "The Kitchen Twins"), are a perfect snack or appetizer any time of year. They freeze really well, so make them ahead of time to have at the ready. (According to the twins, their parents love when they do that!) If you don't have fresh herbs, dried are fine, too. 

Pro Tip from The Kitchen Twins: You can swap out the all-purpose flour with gluten-free options, such as oat flour. To make your own oat flour, blend old-fashioned oats in a high-speed blender until you get a flour-like consistency. Easy!

Ingredients

For the Creamy Feta Sauce:
  • ½ cup plain whole-fat Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup chopped or crumbled feta
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • Chopped dill, for garnish
For the Fritters:
  • ½ cup unbleached all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour (see Tip)
  • ½ teaspoon salt 
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • ¼ cup whole milk or your choice of non-dairy plain milk
  • 1 cup chopped or crumbled feta
  • 1 cup finely chopped spring onions or scallions
  • ½ cup finely chopped fresh dill
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Vegetable oil

Yield

Serves: Makes 12

Preparation

For the sauce, in a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, feta, garlic, lemon juice and salt. Top with chopped dill and set aside.

For the fritters, in a medium bowl, mix together the flour, salt and pepper. Add the eggs, milk, feta, spring onions, dill and garlic and mix until completely incorporated.

In a large frying pan, add enough oil to generously coat the bottom of the pan (these fritters shouldn't be submerged in oil) and heat over medium heat. When it's hot (but not too hot), add 2 tablespoons of the batter to form each fritter, working in batches as needed. Gently press down on each fritter with spatula and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 to 4 minutes per side. (If they are browning too fast, turn down the heat a bit.) 

Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined platter. Serve with the creamy feta sauce.
