- In the medium bowl, whisk the egg white until stiff then fold into the mixture.
- Heat the frying pan to medium-high heat, add the oil then drop 4 tablespoons of the mixture into the pan, leaving space between them to spread a little.

Tips
- These fritters are great with ketchup but if serving as a light meal, accompany with a fresh tomato salsa and crisp green salad.
