Carrot Scallion Fritters

3/4 c Coarsely grated carrot
1/2 c Thinly sliced scallion
1 lg Egg; beaten lightly
1/3 c Fine dry bread crumbs
Vegetable oil for deep-frying

In a bowl combine well the carrot, the scallion, the egg, the bread crumbs, and salt and pepper to taste. In a large skillet heat 1 inch of the oil until it registers 375 degrees F. on a deep-fat thermometer, in batches drop the carrot mixture into the oil by tablespoons, and fry the fritters for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until they are golden. Transfer the fritters to paper towels and let them drain. Serve the fritters as hors d' oeuvres or as a side dish.

Makes about 10 fritters.
