Method
- 1
Whisk the eggs and sugar in a large bowl. Stir in the oat milk, orange juice and both zests.

Add the flour and baking powder and stir to a thick, smooth batter that falls slowly from the spoon. Fold in the raisins and rest for 15 minutes.
15 min - 3
Pour the oil into a deep pan to a depth of at least 5 cm and heat to 170C, or until a drop of batter sizzles and floats in about 20 seconds.

Using two teaspoons, drop in rounded spoonfuls of batter, about 8 at a time. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes, turning, until deep golden and cooked through.
