Directions

- Heat the oil in a large skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Drop the batter into the hot oil by the spoonful a few at a time making sure not to overcrowd the oil. Cook until the fritters are golden brown on each side, about 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate before serving.
