1. Pour oil into a large frying pan. Turn the heat on but keep it low - olive oil smokes quickly.
2. Meanwhile, thoroughly mix all of the other ingredients in a large bowl to make a batter. Now crank up the heat on the frying pan a little. Drop a dot of the batter into the pan - if it sizzles, it's ready.
3. Drop large spoonfuls of the batter into the oil (you can make them as large or small as you want. We like them palm-sized). Do not turn over until you see the edges get nice and golden. Flip over. Remove from oil when golden brown on both sides.
The longer you leave them, the crispier. Depends on what you like. My mom makes these for me and suggested I post it here for you guys. Enjoy!
