# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They turn humble cabbage into something crispy, golden, and totally craveable.
  • You can throw them together with pantry staples and whatever vegetables need using up.
  • The tangy dipping sauce makes every bite feel like a special treat.
  • They work just as well for a quick snack as they do for a casual dinner with friends.
02 -
  • If your batter is too wet, the fritters will fall apart in the oil, so add a tablespoon more flour if needed.
  • Don't flip them too early or the golden crust won't form properly and they'll stick to the pan.
  • Let the oil come back to temperature between batches or the fritters will absorb too much grease and turn soggy.
03 -
  • Use a cast iron skillet if you have one, it holds heat beautifully and gives the fritters an even, golden crust.
  • Make the dipping sauce ahead and let it sit in the fridge for an hour so the flavors meld together.
  • If you want extra crunch, toss a handful of panko breadcrumbs into the batter just before frying.
