Heat 4 oz of corn oil in a pot over medium-high heat (between 7 and 8 on the stove).

Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, ensuring the oil is hot enough to fry immediately.

Fry for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and fry for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.

Remove fritters from the oil and drain on paper towels.
