Don't remember the cheese
pickles7, Jul 7, 2:41am
It has not been altered at all.

must be an age thing, like getting too old

mmmmm won't be long now and I'll see you on the river bank, with my net wearing my special whiting baiting hat... .

If you'd like 'eyes' in them then just pit s teaspoon of poppyseeds in the mix :-)

The Edmonds Cookery Books didn't have cheese in these.

Eh?

That's a smart move bob_doe_nz, I wonder why no-one has ever (to my knowledge) put a photo of the recipe on before? Saves a lot of copying.
bob_doe_nz, Jul 7, 7:58am
But I posted it in post #2. All you need to do IS... copy and paste it.
If your post was sarcasm, I'm afraid I don't get it.

Then again, I have a poor sense of humour.

Why would you ever want mock whitebait! You can buy the stuff for around $20 A kilo here in the whitebait season.

No, I'm sure it's genuine appreciation from hezwez. I think it's a cool idea too! Sure, you can copy and paste, but the original on the page looks good. I haven't seen anyone else do that in Recipes before either. (It also proves beyond doubt that the cheese is there! )
bob_doe_nz, Jul 7, 11:15am
That's why I did it.
elliehen, Jul 7, 11:24am
Thought so... And errors can creep in to a copy and paste. Let's hope you've started a trend, or at least an interesting alternative :)

very good. Thank you

What quantity of Milk is used - The recipe doesm't specify it?
guest, Sep 2, 1:43am
Edmonds old recipe.

you left out the milk.

2TB milk.

i use pumpkin or carrot as well in the potato quantity to give a bit of colour and kids will eat the veges not knowing the same. Maybe finely chopped silverbeet also.

This is a recipe I got of the web:

MOCK WHITEBAIT FRITTERS
(Makes about 8 fritters)

2 Eggs
5 Tbsp Flour
4 Tbsp Milk
1-2 Cloves Crushed Garlic
1 Cup Grated Colby Cheese
