Peter Rabbit’s Favourite Carrot and Caraway Fritters
JenJen from Milk and Cookies is this month’s host for Hay Hay it’s Donna Day which is round number 6!
The theme - Fritters!
I first made these Carrot and Caraway Seed Fritters for my little Samantha’s 1st birthday a couple of years ago, it was a Peter Rabbit, Beatrix Potter themed picnic. They were a big hit and have now become a firm favourite for lazy Sunday afternoons.
