Pipi Fritters image

This is a recipe I created Easter 2013 which was the highlight of our camping weekend. Absolutely delicious with a cold beer or light Savignon Blanc. I think the non negotiable ingredient is the red onion. I ran out of red onions and used 1/2 a brown onion and the result was not quite so impressive. Quantities are approximate, but the aim is to have a slightly thick, pourable batter consistency.
