Place all of the ingredients minus the oil into a mixing bowl, and stir together until well combined.
Heat ½ -1 inch of oil in a deep-sided skillet over medium-high heat on the stove.
When the oil has reached a temperature of at least 175 degrees, drop the batter into the skillet by the tablespoonful, spreading it out a bit as you go.
Brown the fritters on one side, flip and brown them on the other before removing to drain on a paper towel lined rack.
Serve with sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce if desired.
