Fritter

Okay kiddo, let me tell you about fritters! A fritter is a yummy snack made by mixing some tasty ingredients together, like fruit or vegetables, and then dipping them in batter and frying them in hot oil.

It's sort of like making a pancake, but instead of making it flat, we put little pieces of fruit or veggie inside the batter and fry them up. Some people even like to add a bit of spice or sugar to make them taste even better.

Fritters can be round or flat and usually eaten as a snack or side dish. They're pretty easy to make, but be careful not to burn yourself on the hot oil when you're frying them!
