Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

- Shape the Fritters: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop heaping tablespoons of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fritters are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Make the Glaze: While the fritters are baking, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
