How to prepare Crispy Zucchini Fritters
To prepare the crispy zucchini fritters, first pour the flour, Grana 1, and salt 2 into a bowl. Mix the dry ingredients with a spatula 3,
and while continuing to mix, add the beer 4 and the water 5. You should get a smooth, lump-free batter 6.
Wash the zucchini, trim them, and slice them into rounds about 1/16 inch thick 7. Pour them into the batter just prepared 8 and mix to combine everything 9.
Add black pepper 10 and mix again 11. In a large pan, heat the oil. As soon as it reaches a temperature of 340°F, using two spoons, immerse some of the mixture in the oil to form the fritters 12. Fry in batches, so as not to lower the oil temperature.
Fry for 2-3 minutes, then flip the fritters 13, finish cooking for another 2-3 minutes and, using a slotted spoon, drain the fritters 14 on a tray with paper towels. Continue with the cooking of the others and serve them while still hot 15!
