Granny's Green Bean Fritters

2 cups fresh green beans, cut in 1/4-inch pieces and cooked until crisp-tender (use both green and wax beans if you have them) 
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 
1 tablespoon baking powder 
3/4 teaspoon salt 
1 egg, beaten 
1 cup milk 
oil for deep frying 

Heat oil in deep-fryer to 370°.
In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk egg with milk; stir in beans. Add bean mixture to dry ingredients, mixing until just moistened. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls into hot oil (370 °). Deep-fry in batches until golden brown, or for about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to paper towels to drain. 
Makes about 18 to 24 fritters

When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it.
