Note

For a vegan version, substitute the egg with a mixture of flaxseed and water or use a plant-based milk batter.

Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the bread to prevent it from becoming greasy. Use a thermometer for accuracy.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in an oven at 350ðF (175ðC) for 5-10 minutes to restore crispiness.

You can add other spices like paprika or cumin to the flour mixture for extra flavor.
