Notes

  1. This cooking method involves submerging food into very hot oil to cook. The oil instantaneously cooks the outer layer of the food, sealing off the center. This typically results in a crispy exterior and soft interior. Always be careful when cooking with hot oil. You do not want the oil to splash and cause burns.
  2. The oil should be at the correct temperature before frying. Too hot and it will burn the fritters and too cold you will end up will soggy, oily fritters. To test if the oil is at the right temperature, drop one teaspoonful of the batter into the oil. Cook for about a minute on each side. When you remove it from the oil, allow it to cool for a few seconds before breaking the fritter in half. It should have a soft, bread like texture on the inside and golden brown on the outside.
