Glaze (optional):

•   - 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Fritter Batter:

   - Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

   - Fry the fritters in batches, turning them occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.

   - Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

3. Add the Finishing Touches:

   - If desired, dust the fritters with powdered sugar while they are still warm.

   - For a glazed option, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm fritters.
