Notes
- Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- These fritters are best served with a dipping sauce, I suggest Garlic Aioli or Fry Sauce.
- If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make some by mixing ¼ cup whole milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar, just mix the two together and let it sit for about 5 minutes before using.
