For the creamed avocado, blend the avocados, lemon juice and vinegar together. Season with white pepper andsalt. Add a few drops of Tabasco sauce if you like it a bit spicy.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Drop tablespoons of the batter in the pan and cook until golden and crisp, about 2 – 3 minutes on each side. Keep them warm under a clean tea towel while you cook the rest of the fritters.
