Smoked salmon and dill fritters FAQ:

How long do I cook the fritters?

Cook the fritters for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through.

What pan size is best for cooking these fritters?

A non-stick skillet or frying pan works best; use one that is at least 10 inches in diameter to allow enough space for multiple fritters.

Can I substitute the self-raising flour?

Yes, you can substitute self-raising flour with all-purpose flour by adding 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder per cup of flour.

How should I store leftover fritters?

Store leftover fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet for best results.

What are some options for dietary substitutions?
