South Island piopio

Kia ora
Last term, we got put into separate groups and the people in my group were Mikayla, Rory, Jayme, and myself.  We started doing research about the South Island piopio. And the hard part about it was that we had to find the facts about the bird and were it lived, what it eats. But the easy part was we gotput pictures on our slide.

Whtebait fritters

Making Fake Whitebait Fritters

This term for our novel study, Mrs A read us Whitebait Fritters which is a novel written by a Kiwi author Kingi McKinnon.  My favourite part in Whitebait Fritters was when Wiremu fell of the boat and got stuck in the net.

To wind up our learning we decided to make some fake whitebait fritters because we can’t afford to buy real whitebait. We used grated potato to take the place of whitebait and mixed it with eggs and onions. They were really tasty. Then we had to write out the recipe, put it on a Google Drawing and add some images. You can see my work below.

Fake Whitebait Fritters

Ingredients	Equipment
3 cups grated potato 1 medium onion finely chopped 3 eggs ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon pepper  oil for frying	vegetable knife grater bowl egg whisk large spoon spatula dish cloth 2x tea towels

Method:

Before doing anything, make sure that your fingernails are clipped short and are clean. 

Wash your hands carefully making sure you use warm water and soap.

Dry your hands with a clean towel.

Whisk eggs together in bowl.

Peel and wash potatoes.

Grate potatoes onto a clean, dry tea towel.

Roll tea towel around potatoes so that you can wring out the tea towel with the potatoes inside.This will remove most of the water and starch from the potatoes so that your fritters will be tastier and crunchier.

Add potatoes, onions, salt and pepper to the whisked eggs and mix to combine.

Heat oil in pan to a moderate heat.

Fry spoonfuls of the mixture, spreading each spoonful out slightly into a fritter shape.

When edges of fritter turn golden-brown, use a spatula to turn them over to cook on the other side.

When cooked, remove from fry pan with spatula and place them on a plate lined with absorbent paper. This will soak up any extra oil.

Allow fritters to cool slightly before eating. You may like to add more seasoning or tomato sauce/chutney etc.
