Notes
- Fry in Batches: You want to keep the oil hot so your fritters don't soak up tons of the frying oil. Make sure to just cook a few fritters at a time. This also makes it easier to flip them over.
- Heat the Oil: You want the oil to be hot before you begin frying. If you aren't sure you can drop a small amount of batter into the pan. If it bubbles up immediately then it's ready to go. If not, let it heat a bit longer and then test again.
- Drain Well: Let them sit on some paper towels to drain off any excess grease before you glaze them.
