Ingredients

1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon melted butter
1 cup chopped raw cauliflower
1 cup shredded cheese
1/2 cup finely chopped onion

Drop by spoonfulls into hot oil and deep fry til brown and crispy.

Tips:

Choose the right cauliflower: Use a head of cauliflower that is firm and white, with no blemishes or bruises. A medium-sized head of cauliflower will yield about 2 cups of riced cauliflower.

Grate or rice the cauliflower finely: This will help the fritters to bind together and cook evenly. You can use a box grater or a food processor fitted with the grating blade to grate the cauliflower.

Squeeze out the moisture from the cauliflower: This will help to prevent the fritters from becoming soggy. Use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Use a combination of cheeses: Cheddar cheese is a classic choice for cauliflower fritters, but you can also use other types of cheese, such as Parmesan, mozzarella, or Gruyère. Using a combination of cheeses will give the fritters a more complex flavor.

Don't overcook the fritters: The fritters should be cooked until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, but still tender on the inside. Overcooking will make the fritters dry and tough.

Conclusion:

Cauliflower cheddar fritters are a delicious and versatile appetizer or side dish. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them cheesy, spicy, or herby, there is a cauliflower cheddar fritter recipe out there for you.
