I followed the directions to the letter, but did not find that these fritters lived up to my hopes for them. They had an ok taste but the texture was very very soft. It took much longer then 1.5 minutes per side (5-8). I turned up the heat a few times thinking that that was my problem, and burned a few batches trying to get them to brown. I got 6 made and ate them with maple syrup. It took 20-30 minutes because I found that I could only get them to cook well in a tiny pan 1 at a time. In the end I tried to bake the rest of the batter (think un-fried chicken. I though if it works with chicken maybe it would work with fritters??) but I would not suggest it at all. It was a neat one to try, but not one that I will repeat.
