- Serves:

4-6
ingredients
- 1 cup sourdough starter
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1⁄2 cup powdered milk
- 1 cup minced clam
- 1 teaspoon minced dried onion
- 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup flour
- oil (for deep frying)
directions
- Start heating up the oil for frying: in a heavy pot or deep fryer, heat the oil (at a depth of at least 3 inches) to 375 degrees F.
- In a bowl, combine the sourdough starter and eggs, then stir in the powdered milk, clams, and dried onion.
- In a different bowl, combine the dry ingredients, then add it into the clam mixture. Stir until it's all combined well.
- Drop by spoonfuls into the oil and dry until the fritters are a nice, deep golden brown, which will take about 1 to 3 minutes per side.
- Drain fried fritters well on/with paper towels and serve immediately.
- Note: some people like to add corn to these fritters, which is nice, too. You can use just about any kind of clam meat for these.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm from Alaska, a Tlingit (prounounced "klingit") native American and Norwegian. I love food! If I could live on the ocean, I would. Fishing is where I find peace. My name is Darrell but my nephew calls me "Uncle Dobo" and these days many family members do, too. Someday I hope my sisters will have RecipeZaar accounts, too, so they can share their recipes with all our family members more easily. :)
I'm good friends with <a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/member/39547">Julesong</a> and her husband <a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/member/39857">Steingrim</a>, and they're great cooks. They cook a lot more "ethnic" food than I'm used to - I'm more a meat and potatoes kind of guy - but I'm coming to like some of the food styles they eat a lot.
My nephew, Julesong, and myself are collecting native Alaskan recipes these days, so you'll soon be seeing some of them appear in my list. Julesong types them up for us (and maintains my Zaar account for me). The ingredients will probably be unusual for most Americans, but I think it's important to collect the information about our Native Alaskan American heritage and share it with others. My nephew Jared collected some of them from family members while visiting Anchorage.
