Notes
For the best results, ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the batter to achieve a crispy texture. You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into the pan; if it sizzles, the oil is ready. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning. Be mindful not to overcrowd the pan, as this can lower the oil temperature and result in soggy fritters.
