Buckwheat fritters are a northern Italian dish from the Lombardy region.  Several buckwheat dishes are the specialty of certain towns within the region and are not found in any other parts of Italy.  What really makes this dish is the flavour of the cheese and the frying of the fritters in olive oil and butter.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups buckwheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 2 cups tasty cheese – diced or grated
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil – extra oil as required
  • 4 tablespoons butter – extra butter as required

  2. Add cheese and mix well.  Mixture consistency should be slightly thick and able to run of a spoon fairly easily.
  3. Heat a frying pan on medium heat.  Add the oil and half the butter.  Allow butter to melt and sizzle.
