Use the scaled ingredient list. Steps and temperatures stay unchanged; use a larger pan or dish if needed. Seasonings to taste stay to taste.
How to make it
Rinse the whitebait in cold water and drain it in a sieve for ten minutes.
Pat the whitebait dry with a cloth; excess water stops the fritter setting.
Whisk the eggs with the flour, salt and pepper until smooth and lump-free.
Fold the whitebait into the egg mixture gently, taking care not to crush it.
Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat until it just sizzles.
Pour in a ladle of the mixture and spread it into a thin round a centimetre thick.
Fry a minute and a half a side and serve with lemon and buttered bread.
