In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg with 2 tablespoons of water, salt, and black pepper.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Add more water, a tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach a thick, spoonable batter consistency. Do not overmix.

Carefully drop rounded tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches.

Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.

💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Adjust the amount of scotch bonnet pepper to your spice preference.
- ✓Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature before frying to prevent greasy fritters.
- ✓Do not overcrowd the pan, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy fritters.
