FAQs
1. Can I use other oils for frying?
Yes, you can use oils with high smoke points like canola or peanut oil, but vegetable oil is most commonly used.
2. Can I bake Wind Fritters instead of frying?
While frying gives them that delightful texture, you can experiment with baking them at a high temperature. Just keep in mind they won’t be as crispy.
