    Fry for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crisp.

  5. 5

Chef's tips

Make sure the oil is completely hot before frying so the fritters turn crisp instead of soaking up oil.

Storage

Refrigerate up to 2 days.

Reheating

Reheat in a dry skillet or toaster oven to keep the crust crisp.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • β€’Frying at too low a temperature, which makes the fritters greasy
  • β€’Overmixing the batter, which makes the fritters tough and dense
