TV_Tech I make this quite often, only difference is that I sometimes chop up a bit of ham and add that as well as chopped parsely. Also I don't deep fry, I just shallow fry in a little butter and flip them over as I would do for a pancake.

 

The same batter can be used to make meat fritters, I often use some leftover meat (corned meat is great or leftover lamb from a roast) and slice it very thinly and add it to the batter, add some chopped parsely and cook.
