In a kettle heat 1 1/2 inches of the oil until it registers 375°F. on a deep-fat thermometer, drop the batter by tablespoonfuls into the oil in batches, and fry the fritters, turning them, for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until they are golden. Transfer the fritters with slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and sift the confectioners' sugar over them. Makes about 22 fritters. Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less
