Notes

  • If the mixture is too wet, add a little more flour to help bind the fritters.
  • For an oil-free version, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in a pan or oven for best results.
