3) Fill a frying pan halfway with oil. Once the oil is ready, (until the oil reaches around 365°F with a candy thermometer or when a test drop of dough floats to the top of the oil)
4) Using a cookie scooper or soup spoon, drop about 1/4 cup of batter per fritter into hot oil, spreading it out as you drop.
5) Place a 4-5 balls of dough into the oil at a time. Be careful not to overcrowd. Cook each side until golden brown, approximately 2 minutes per side.
6) Adjust cooking times based on size of fritters and temperature of your oil. It is always a good idea to test one to ensure it comes out like you are expecting. Remove to paper towels to drain.

Tips:
Don’t over-mix the batter, it will make the fritters tough.
Don’t overcrowd the pan.
Start heating the oil after batter is ready, otherwise oil will get too hot and may burn the batter.
Use a deeper pan in case of oil splattering.
Track the oil temperature with candy thermometer.
Do test by frying one to ensure it comes out like you are expecting.
Use paper towels to drain.
