Things I’ve Learned
To avoid fritters sticking to the pan, ensure the oil is hot before adding the mixture. For the best texture, don’t overcrowd the skillet—fry in batches if necessary. Leftover fritters can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the toaster or skillet. They also freeze well; just layer between parchment paper before sealing in an airtight container.
