- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk until evenly distributed.
- Gradually add the milk to the dry mixture, stirring continuously until the batter is smooth and lump-free.

- Fry for about 2–3 minutes per side, until deep golden brown and crispy.

Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding chopped herbs like chives or parsley to the batter. Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to prevent sogginess. Adjust fritter sizes as desired.
