- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1/4 cup Onion(finely chopped)

👨🍳 步驟
- 1
Prepare the saltfish: Soak the saltfish in water for at least 8 hours or overnight, changing the water several times to remove excess salt. Cook the saltfish in fresh water until tender, then flake it and remove any bones.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine the drained ackee, flaked saltfish, chopped onion, bell pepper, minced scotch bonnet pepper (if using), minced garlic, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper.
- 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. In another small bowl, whisk the egg and milk together.
- 4
Gradually add the flour mixture to the ackee and saltfish mixture, stirring until just combined. Add the egg and milk mixture and stir until a thick batter forms. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency, similar to pancake batter.
- 5
Heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C).
- 6
Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- 7
Remove the fritters from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
