Note
For extra crispiness, ensure the oil is at the correct temperature before adding the batter.
You can add chopped herbs like parsley or dill to the batter for added flavor.
Serve immediately for best texture. Leftovers can be reheated in an oven or air fryer to regain crispiness.
If using water instead of milk, the batter may be slightly lighter but less rich.
