Tips and Conclusion

For an extra flavor boost, sprinkle a bit of cinnamon sugar on top of the glazed fritters. If you’re looking to change things up, try adding a handful of raisins or a pinch of nutmeg to the batter. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days and reheat in the oven or air fryer for that fresh-out-of-the-pan crispness.
