Instructions
1
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well mixed.

Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to maintain a light texture.

Cook each fritter for about 2-3 minutes on one side, until golden brown. Carefully flip them and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
