  2. Form the Fritters:
    Shape the mixture into small, firm patties. Ensure the patties are compact but not too tight, so they fry up evenly and stay crispy.

    Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the fritters to ensure a golden, crispy texture. Learn more about the ideal frying techniques in this pan-frying guide.
