- Drop about 2 tablespoons of batter into the heated oil and fry until golden brown and puffed, about 4-5 minutes. Repeat until all the batter has been used, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
- Remove and drain on a wire rack. Allow to cool for a few minutes before dipping into the glaze. Allow the excess glaze to drip off then return to the wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- A candy thermometer works wonders here! It will help you make sure the oil is the right temperature.
- Don't over crowd the pot while you are frying the fritters. This will keep the oil at the right temperature and prevent them from sticking together.
- Let the fritters cool until you can easily handle them before dipping them in the glaze to help the glaze set on the fritters.
- A slotted spoon or a spider spoon is perfect for fishing the fritters out of the oil.
