I saw the recipe. I'll be nice and say it "didn't appeal to me",
that's why I ignored it. "Fixing it" is a lost cause IMO, so find a
different recipe. I don't like to suggest things to you because
there's so much that someone in your family doesn't like, can't eat,
or you'll find some obscure fault with it anyway - but you can start
here http://cooktraineatrace.com/fritters/

What you said above is a great example of why I don't like to suggest
anything specific to you. Pinterest even has an internal search
engine, so you can search either your own pins or every pinner's pins
for something specific, I gave you the "every pinner" link. If you
want to use a search engine to search the net, be my guest.

You can lead a horse to water, but....

It sounds like you've missed the entire point of Pinterest. It is a
tool for people who want to save links (like recipes) they've found on
the internet for future reference and don't want to keep them in
bookmarks, on tabs or in files/folders on their computer. I use it a
lot, don't consider it clunky and don't think clicking on an image to
go straight to a recipe is a problem.
