- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
- In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil to 365 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a small scoop to create 2 tablespoon-sized balls. Drop them into the oil, about five at a time, and cook for five minutes before removing with a slotted spoon and transferring to a paper towel-lined plate.4 cups vegetable oil
- Serve while warm. These are delicious on their own or served with sauce. I love them most with tartar sauce, but they are also served with ketchup, aioli, and mayonnaise.
