Ingredients:

                    === ACRAS BATTER ===
1     cup           flour
                    Salt
                    Freshly-ground black pepper
2                   eggs
1/2   cup           milk
                    === CODFISH ===
1/2   pound         salted codfish
1     sprig         fresh thyme
2     sprigs        flat-leaf parsley
1                   scallion, including green top
2                   chives
1/4   teaspoon      ground allspice
1/2                 Scotch Bonnet chile
                    Corn oil

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

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.
This recipe yields 6 servings.
