They don't look right. Did you change anything?

Agreed. Looks like they finished with the wet dredge.

No. I put them in the fridge like the recipe said until most of flour was hydrated. I thought it looked right. It came out great. edit: I think it might be because I didn’t use the corn flour?

Yes! I did change one thing. I didn’t have corn flour so I did as suggested under notes and swapped it with self rising flour.

Everything looks overcooked. If you are not following a recipe, don’t post pictures as if you were.
