💡 Pro Tips

To prevent the fritters from becoming too greasy, do not overmix the batter. For an extra crispy exterior, chill the fritters in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before frying. To freeze, place the fritters on a baking sheet and place in the freezer until frozen solid. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
