These fritters are sure to be the lightest ones you’ve ever had, thanks to the small amount of flour, much less than traditional fritters, and the lightening effect of beaten egg whites on the batter. When beating the whites, make sure the beaters and the bowl are clean—any oil or residue can inhibit them from reaching their full potential. When beating to stiff peaks, the mixture will be thick and heavy, and the peaks should point straight up without collapsing when the whisk is turned upside down. Eggs will also beat the best when they are fresh and cold straight from the refrigerator.
