Given i live in Scotland you’d think I’d be used to deep frying everything, but I’m not, ever since Mum ditched the chip pan in favour of oven chips years ago. So I enjoyed trying out two recipes which involved deep frying:

“Puggie Woogie” are like little donut balls. Full of sugar and fat but oh-so tasty!

“Corn Fritters” are something which I’ve bought in supermarkets before, but never made myself. Until Yesterday. Today’s lunch is corn fritter leftovers (with sweet chilli sauce). Next time, more sweetcorn and maybe fried flat in a frying pan. We’ll see.

Oh, by the way, unlike the blender for smoothies, I didn’t rush out and buy a fryer just to try these.
