Method

Pat the whitebait dry with paper towels so the fritters fry rather than steam.
Beat the eggs with the flour, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Fold the whitebait gently into the egg mixture so the fish stay whole.
Heat the butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat until foaming.
Spoon in small mounds of the mixture and fry for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until golden and just set.
Drain briefly on paper towels and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
