Step 2: Heat the Oil
Add about 1/2 inch of oil to a heavy skillet and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches around 375°F.
Tip: If you don’t have a thermometer, test the oil by dropping in a small amount of batter. If it immediately sizzles and floats, the oil is ready.
Step 3: Fry the Fritters
Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil using a tablespoon. Lightly press them with the back of the spoon so they flatten slightly, which helps them cook evenly. Fry for 2–3 minutes per side until they are golden brown and crisp.
Step 4: Drain and Serve
Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel–lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve right away while they’re still hot and perfectly crispy.
