Cooking

In a deep pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Cover a plate with paper towel. When cooking the accras, be sure to keep an eye on your stove; hot oil can be dangerous when left unattended. Place a tablespoon of the accras batter into the hot oil. Fry until the accras has a golden colour, then place on the paper towel–covered plate.
