3. In small bowl with mixer on high, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. With rubber spatula, gently fold half of beaten egg whites into batter until well blended. Then fold remaining beaten egg whites into batter, JUST UNTIL BLENDED. Set aside

5. Carefully add fritter batter by tablespoonfuls, a few at a time, to hot oil. Fry 3-4 minutes, turning once, or until fritters are golden brown. Drain well on paper towels.
