Ingredients

• 1 Kg Caputo Cuor Di Cerali, 1Kg
• 1.5 Kg Natco Cornmeal Medium, 1.5Kg
• 60G Terre Exotique Cheeselovers Pepper, 60G
• 6 X 1 L Candia Just Milk Semi Skimmed
• 600G Picard-Organic Courgette Slices
• 70G Mill & Mortar Citrus Salt Flakes, 70G
• - Silver Spoon Granulated Sugar
• - Ktc Vegetable Oil

Instructions

1. 1. In a mixing bowl, combine 3/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup cornmeal, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 3/4 cup milk. Mix until smooth to form a batter resembling pancake batter.
2. 2. If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk to achieve the desired consistency.
3. 3. Slice 4 courgettes into even rounds and dip each slice into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip back into the bowl.
4. 4. Sprinkle each battered courgette slice lightly with 1 tablespoon sugar for a hint of sweetness.
5. 5. Heat 2 inches of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
6. 6. Carefully place the courgette slices into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, turning them gently with tongs.
7. 7. Remove the fried courgettes from the skillet and transfer them to a colander to drain excess oil.
8. 8. To prevent sogginess, stand the courgettes upright instead of stacking them. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
