For croquettes and fritters, deep frying is employed where much oil is used. The
amount of oil used should be such as to allow the food to stay afloat.
Must use medium to high heat for
deep frying, otherwise, the flour will
retain too much oil. Fry it the same way you deep fry doughnuts. You should also prepare batter with the correct constituency.

said: Batter should have a thick and yet flowing
constituency, like that of a butter cake.
Deep frying should be done
over a medium heat. Fritters will absorb
much oil on low heat.
