Sour milk, or milk and yoghurt, or even Mendicrim, will react with the baking powder and make them lighter.

Oh. And add some grated Parmesan. It won’t make them lighter, but you won’t care.

I’m going to try these, they look pretty good. They’re kind of similar to whats added to spatnokopia (sp-those greek spinach pies)

Not having made these, I can’t say for certain how any of this would mesh, but you could try replacing some of the flour with corn starch, and play some with the amt of baking powder. If I want a really light and airy batter thats what I do. Also, replacing some of the milk with a lighter liquid might help (stock maybe?), and beating the eggs to get a frothy texture could help as well.

Ditto on the batter. I’d be hurting for more batter than that, but that’s just me. I like that sort of stuff. Rice could be very interesting, too.

I need to learn how to cook (beyond Stove Top).

@Katie: Perhaps, I’ll have to give it a try I know someone else who uses more batter but haven’t been able to get the recipe yet.

Your fritters look very tasty! When my boyfriend’s mom makes them, they tend to have less spinach and more batter/flour. I’m all for veggies, but maybe a little less spinach might help?

mix the spinach with cooked rice, it improves the texture and flavor.
