Simple Dough Creation: In a mixing bowl, combine the water and salt. Stir well until the salt dissolves completely. Gradually add the flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until you have a smooth and cohesive dough.

Flavor Boost: Add the chopped green onions, a pinch of baking soda for extra fluffiness, and your grated cheese of choice to the dough. Gently fold everything together until well combined.

Coating Station: On a clean surface, prepare your coating station by mixing equal parts flour and cornstarch. This coating will give your fritters a delightful crispy exterior.

Shape and Coat: Divide the dough into small, bite-sized portions. On the floured surface, gently flatten each portion into a thin pancake shape. Then, coat each pancake in the flour and cornstarch mixture, ensuring it’s evenly covered.

Frying Finesse: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot but not smoking, carefully add the coated pancakes. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they’re golden brown and cooked through.

Drain and Butter Up!: Transfer the fried fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. While they’re still hot, brush them with the melted butter for extra flavor and shine.

Enjoy!: Serve your warm and delicious fritters immediately. They’re best enjoyed fresh, but can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day.
