Method:

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl, breaking in the eggs and combining them with the ingredients individually.

Season to taste and then shape them with 2 tablespoons so that you have an oval shape and drop them into hot oil, frying them until they are golden and crispy.

Make sure the oil is not too hot because you want a golden, not a dark brown colour.

Serve warm or cold.
