Gather and prepare your ingredients.

2

Place the dry ingredients into a bowl and whisk to combine until you have a smooth mixture.

3

Pour in the water and vegetables, mix to combine.

4

Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add spoonfuls of batter and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until fully cooked. Allow to cool before serving. We used a tablespoon measure to ensure evenly sized fritters.
