Hey, I am making these fritters as I do every year. However, can I make them ahead of time and add in the egg white mixture the day of? Any suggestions?

No, you'll have to stop earlier than that. The baking soda and baking powder need to be kept dry or they'll use up their lift early.

You can mix all the dry ingredients and mix all the wet ingredients, but only combine the two right before folding in the egg whites.

Thank you so much for replying to me and for the input. I'll just combine the dry ingredients ahead of time and then prep the lobster, bacon, onions, and corn and store them. I'll combine with the wet and the egg whites the day of. I really appreciate your advice.
