Fritter Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

1

Prepare the Fritter Batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pimento cheese, flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

2

Add Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

3

Heat the Oil

In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

4

Fry the Fritters

Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

5

Drain and Serve

Remove the fritters from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with red pepper jelly on the side.
