		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
2		Eggs
1/2 cup	118ml	Milk
		Codfish
1/2 lb	227g / 8oz	Salted codfish - flaked

1		Scallion, including green top
2		Chives
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Ground allspice
1/2		Scotch Bonnet chile
		Corn oil - for frying

Recipe Instructions

For the batter, mix the flour and the seasoning together in a medium-size bowl. Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture and break the eggs into the well 1 at a time while beating the mixture until it has become a thick, uniform paste. Cover the bowl with a dampened cloth and allow it to rest for 1 to 4 hours.

For the fish, place the flaked codfish, thyme, parsley, scallion, chives, allspice, and chile in the bowl of a food processor and grind them together into a thick paste. Fold this paste into the acras batter.

Meanwhile, heat 2 inches of corn oil to 350 to 375 degrees in a heavy cast-iron pot or deep fryer. Drop the acras into it by the teaspoonful. Fry until they are light brown, turning once. When done, remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
