Patties are a versatile little morsel of food! They can be made round, small or large, flat or shaped into a finger!
Generally they are small, often a rounded mass of minced meat or fish or vegetables. They may be covered with egg and bread crumbs & deep-fried in oil. Alternatively, the easier way is to combine the egg and breadcrumbs together to blend all the flavours.
What’s in a name?
In French they are called croquettes, some people call them truffles or rissoles. Fritters means they are usually fried and some call them pastel and nuggets.
