In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg.
Pour the whisked egg and the water (or milk) into the dry ingredients. If using optional sugar or cinnamon, add them now.
Mix until just combined. A few small lumps are okay – don't overmix!
Heat a lightly oiled pan or griddle over medium heat.
Spoon small dollops of batter onto the hot pan, like mini pancakes.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve the warm fritters alongside the fresh watermelon cubes.
💡 Pro Tips: 🍳 Make sure your pan is hot before adding the batter for best results! ✨ Don't overcrowd the pan – give those little fritters space to breathe and cook evenly. 🥄 If the batter seems too thick, add a tiny splash of milk or water, but just a little! 😉 These are best enjoyed warm, right off the pan, with your cool watermelon! 🧊
