Description

You can make these classic British fritters at home. They are easy to make and taste great.

Ingredients

• 12 oz. can Spam
• 1 c. all-purpose flour
• 1 c. COLD beer
• 1 t. baking powder
• 1/4 t. white pepper
• 1/4 t. salt
• 3-4 c. oil, for deep frying
• 4 cheese slices, cut to the size of a fritter (Cheddar or Swiss are great)
• Dijon Mustard, as needed
• ketchup, for serving if desired

Steps

1. Remove Spam from can, making sure that it comes out whole. Place on cutting board; slice into 8 equal sized pieces, cutting into halves first, then cutting each half into halves, and lastly cutting each of those into halves until there are 8 slices.
2. Lay each piece flat; very lightly spread each with Dijon mustard so that cheese will stick; lay each cheese slice on top; firmly press down so it sticks to the Spam.
3. In a bowl, combine flour with baking powder, white pepper and salt; making sure cheese stays intact, carefully but thoroughly coat each fritter in flour.
