After frying remove the cooked fritters from the oil. Let them drain on paper towels.
Serve these fritters while they're still warm and savor every bite!

Notes

To adapt these fritters for a gluten-free diet, replace the all-purpose flour with your preferred gluten-free blend, ideally one containing xanthan gum. Adjust the milk if needed, as gluten-free flours can vary in absorbency. Enjoy the same savory bite, sans gluten!
