  • The taste of the fritters and syrup is excellent. But I could not get them to fry through all the way without burning. Most were raw in the middle no matter how small I made them. I was doing it on a stove top and not a professional deep fryer but can usually do fried food just fine. Used regular vanilla yogurt not soy and cloves/cinnamon instead of mace. I will try these again if I can figure out how to get them to fry through. Not sure if it was the frying technique or the consistency of the dough.
