Advice from experts
-
Keeping up Make sure: It’s very important that your fritters have the right structure. If the mixture is still too wet after being mixed, add a little more flour to help soak up the extra

water and make the patties stick together better.
-
Even When you’re cooking, try to make all the patties the same size so they cook evenly. Scoop the batter into a cookie cutter or a normal measuring cup before you shape it into patties.
-
Heat of the Oil: The oil needs to be hot enough before adding the burgers so that they don’t soak up too much oil and get mushy. Put a little bit of the mixture into the oil and see if it sizzles right away. If it does, the oil is ready

Alternative Ways to Cook: You can also bake these fritters if you’d rather have less oil. Put them on a baking sheet that has been oiled and lightly coat them with oil. Bake them in an oven that has been warmed to 400°F (200°C) for about 15 to 20 minutes on each side, until they are golden and crispy.

Adding to the flavor: To make it cheesier, add finely grated Parmesan or pecorino cheese to the mix. To make it more Mediterranean, add finely chopped olives or capers.Ideas for Serving
