| drizzled with honey, and served with homeamde vanilla bean gelato, picture property of Bonnie Parker |
Ingredients:
1 heaping cup of flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
Dash of salt
1-2 tsp vanilla
¼ tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla
1 tblsp butter, melted
1 egg
1/3 cup of milk + more if needed
1 ½ cups chopped apple, your favorite kind for eating, cut
peanut sized or smaller
Oil for frying
Milk and powdered sugar glaze for dipping or just
powdered sugar for dusting
(about 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 Tblsp milk or more if
needed)
Directions:
1.
Mix all dry
ingredients together, and slowly add the wet ingredients minus the apple. Carefully mix until well combined but not
over-mixed. Gentle fold into apple pieces. The batter should be the consistency of a
light cake mix.
2.
Once oil is ready, using a cookie scoop or soup
spoon, place 4-5 balls of dough in the fryer.
Be careful not to crowd and watch carefully for the underside to turn
golden brown, gently flip over and continue frying until done. I cooked mine about 35 seconds per side, but
they were roughly the size of a golf ball.
3.
Adjust cooking times based on size of fritters
and temperature of your oil, ideally around 365 degrees F. It is always a good
idea to test one to ensure it comes out like you are expecting!
When they are done, you can drizzle glaze on them, or
dust with powdered sugar and enjoy!
