🥄 Spoon Fritters (Quick & Easy)

🔪 Instructions:

1. Make the Batter:

   • In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.

   • Gradually add water or milk, stirring until the batter reaches a thick yet spoonable consistency (like pancake batter).

   • If using, add garlic powder, herbs, and cheese to the batter. Mix well.

2. Heat the Oil:

   • Heat about 1–2 inches of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small spoonful of batter into the oil. If it sizzles and rises to the top, it’s ready.

3. Fry the Fritters:

   • Using a spoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Don’t overcrowd the pan — fry in batches.

   • Cook for about 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

   • Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

4. Serve:

   • Serve hot, with a dipping sauce like sour cream, yogurt, or hot sauce.
