Heat a shallow pan with just enough oil to coat the bottom evenly. Once hot, dollop in small amounts of the batter and flatten slightly with a spatula. Continue with the rest, making sure to leave at least two inches between each fritter. Don’t be tempted to turn the fritters until they are nicely browned at the bottom, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes more. Remove and drain off the excess oil on a kitchen towel. Fry the fritters in batches adding a little more oil to the pan each time.
