Crab Fritters

Makes 30

Crab fritters are wonderfully crispy on the outside but tender, soft and sweet when bitten into. Crab fritters make excellent party food, they are quick, easy and taste fabulous. You could make them bite size and have them as finger food. They make a wonderful change from the traditional sausage roll or triangle sandwiches you see at parties and adds wonderful variation and flavour to any buffet.
