I think it depends on the recipe, but fritters that I know are a thicker
batter. Not necessarily fried in a deep fryer, but most certainly in deeper
fat than one would fry pancakes. I think of pancakes of sort of baking in
the open skillet with little fat. Then various other kinds of "cakes" take
more fat and fritters the most. But what do I know?
