For a sweeter treat, dust the warm fritters with powdered sugar. If you don't have canola oil, vegetable oil or peanut oil can be substituted. The dough can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Bring to room temperature before rolling out. Make sure the oil temperature stays consistent while frying to avoid greasy fritters. Adjust heat as needed. Experiment with different shapes and sizes! Get creative with your fritter designs.
