Feijoa fritters are created by coating feijoa slices in a batter and frying them until they’re crispy and golden brown. The batter usually contains flour, eggs, milk, sugar, and sometimes baking powder or spices for added flavor. Once fried, they’re frequently dusted with powdered sugar or cinnamon and served warm.
These fritters are a beloved dessert or snack in various cultures and can be savored on their own or paired with a dipping sauce like caramel or chocolate.
