  • 3 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups grated low-fat cheddar cheese

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Combine butter and the water in a heavy based saucepan, cook and stir over low heat for 3 minutes or until the butter melts and then increase heat and bring to boiling point (but do not let it actually boil).

  • Step 2: Sift flour and salt together onto a piece of baking paper and then add the flour to water mixture all at once, stirring to combine and cook and stir for 1 minute or until mixture leaves the side of the saucepan and forms a ball around the spoon.

  • Step 3: Remove from heat and transfer mixture to a heatproof bowl and cool slightly.

  • Step 4: Using an electric mixer, add eggs, one by one, beating well after each addition, until thick, smooth and glossy and then stir in cheese, parsley, chervil (if using), chives and tarragon.

  • Step 5: Heat oil in a heavy based saucepan over high heat (oil is ready when a cube of bread colour quickly without absorbing any oil).

  • Step 6: Using 2 large spoons, scoop heaped tablespoon of fritter mixture into oil and deep fry, in batches for 3 minutes or until puffed and bolden brown and then drain on paper towel and once all cooked swerve with relish.
