Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt until well combined.
Sift in the flour and baking powder, then mix to create a smooth batter.
Fold in the chopped vegetables, shredded cheese (if using), black pepper, and parsley or cilantro.
Step 2: Heat the Oil
Heat about 1 inch of oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Test the oil with a small drop of batter—it should sizzle and turn golden in about 30 seconds.
Step 3: Fry the Fritters
Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, ensuring enough space between each fritter.
Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 4: Serve
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch, sour cream, or sweet chili sauce.
Tips for Perfect Vegetable Fritters
- Ensure Uniform Sizing: Chop vegetables finely for even cooking.
- Adjust the Batter: Add more flour if the batter is too runny, or a splash of milk if too thick.
- Serve Fresh: Fritters taste best when served hot and crispy.
- Customize: Add spices like paprika or chili powder for extra flavor.
