1
Prepare the Fritters
In a mixing bowl, combine the pimento cheese and flour until well mixed. Form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
2
Coat the Fritters
In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Dip each pimento cheese ball into the egg, then roll in bread crumbs until fully coated.
3
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
4
Fry the Fritters
Carefully place the coated pimento cheese balls into the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
5
Serve
Serve warm with ranch dipping sauce.
