Delectable Carrot Fritters

• 2 3/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 6 tablespoons shallots, chopped
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
• 6 cups grated carrots
• 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
• 1 cup bearnaise sauce

1. In a large bowl, combine flour, milk, shallots, parsley, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Gently fold in the carrots; be careful not to overmix. Cover, and refrigerate for 3 hours.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fat fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lower the batter by heaping tablespoonful into the hot oil. Do not crowd the fritters, fry only a few at a time. Fry until fritters are golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and drain well on paper towels. Serve immediately with Bearnaise sauce.
