Step 1. Add all ingredients (except the oil) to a large mixing bowl and mix well.
Step 2. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat.
Step 3. Use a tbsp to drop heaped scoops of the fritter mix onto the pan and flatten slightly with a fork to about 1.5 centimetres.
Step 4. Leave them to cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown, then turn them over and cook the other side for 3 minutes before serving.
