Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when a small drop of batter is added.
6
Spoon portions of the batter into the hot oil, flattening them gently with the back of a spoon to form round patties. Do not overcrowd the pan.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Work in batches if necessary to ensure the patties cook evenly.
7
Fry for 5-7 minutes on the first side, until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
About 7 min
