Notes

Don’t over-mix the batter as it may make the fritters tough.
Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying so the donuts cook better and the oil temperature is easier to maintain.
Use a candy thermometer to track the temperature of the oil.
A dutch oven or heavy pot helps the oil hold its temperature.
Try to maintain a constant temperature of 375 degrees. When you add the batter the temperature will drop so you must increase the heat a tad. Likewise when you remove the fritters from the oil the temperature will increase so you need to turn the heat down a tad.
Remove the fried fritters to paper towels to drain.
Store the cooled cooked fritters wrapped loosely in paper towels in a brown paper bag.
