Vegetable oil -- for frying
1 cup all-in-one pancake mix
1/2 cup water
7 scallions – cleaned, dried and trimmed of roots, chopped (7 to 8)
1 Pinch cayenne pepper
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Fill a medium saucepan with 2 to 3 inches of vegetable oil and heat to medium-high heat. Arrange a paper towel lined plate on the counter to place the fritters on when they come out of the hot oil.
In a bowl, make the batter by combining the all-in-one pancake mix with the water (the batter will be on the thick side). Add the chopped green onions and season with the cayenne, salt, and pepper. When the oil is ready for frying, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the oil and fry on all sides until golden brown and puffy. This should take no more than 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and drain on the paper towel lined plate. Season with salt while they are still hot.
