These fritters were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they had been baked instead of fried.

I was really excited to try these fritters, but I was disappointed with the results. The batter was too thick and the fritters were undercooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
