Tips & Tricks
Add a spoon of hot oil to the batter This gives extra crispiness and prevents the fritters from absorbing too much oil.
Ensure the oil is heated to the right temperature before frying to avoid soggy fritters.
Do not add too much water to the batter as the spring onions release moisture when mixed with salt.
Fry the fritters in small batches to maintain the oil temperature and ensure even cooking.
Flip gently and only once or twice. Overturning again and again absorbs more oil
Drain on a wire rack instead of tissue This keeps fritters crisp and prevents them from steaming and getting soft.
