If you don't have either, you can heat the skillet on medium-high heat and test the oil by dropping in a small amount of batter. If it is sizzling and frying, then the temperature is good, if not, turn up the heat a little.

1. Carefully drop large spoonfuls of batter into the oil. As it browns, use a slotted spoon/spatula to flip the fritters and fry on the other side. These should only take 1 1⁄2 – 2 minutes per side. You can test the first fritter to make sure the center is done. 2. Transfer the fritters to paper towel to drain and then place on a wire rack to cool slightly. 3. When your batch of fritters are ready and cooled slightly, drizzle with icing.
