- Heat enough vegetable oil for deep frying in a deep pan over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 180°C (350°F)
- Using two spoons, shape small portions of the batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil
- Fry the fritters until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes
- Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towel-lined plates to drain excess oil
- While still warm, roll the fritters in the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating them completely
