In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk (or water). Pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined to form a thick batter. Do not overmix.

Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Remove the fritters from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- 6
Serve hot as a snack or appetizer, with a dipping sauce like hot sauce or a lime aioli if desired.
