  • 2 tbs olive oil

  • 2.5 cups self-raising flour, sifted
  • Salt and ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup milk

  • extra light olive oil, for shallow frying

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a frying pan over high heat. Add mushrooms and onions. Cook, stirring often for 6
minutes or until liquid has evaporated. Transfer to a bowl. Set aside to cool completely.

Combine flour and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk the milk and eggs in a jug with a
fork until well combined. Pour into the flour mixture and stir gently until smooth.

Add mushrooms, thyme and parsley. Stir gently to combine.

Add enough oil to a large non-stick frying pan to cover the base. Heat over medium heat until
hot. Drop heaped tablespoonfuls of mixture into pan. Cook for 3 minutes each side or until
golden and cooked through.

Serve at room temperature topped with a dollop of tzatziki dip.
