Hello dear readers! I have had a busy couple of days taking down and organizing my Christmas decor. You can call off Dr. Phil my close friends...I have decided against the year round tree. My house is now very clean and organized and I was able to cook again. Can't make a mess in the middle of a mess.
First recipe was done Saturday AM before Christmas teardown.
Apple Fritters
1 C All Purpose Flour
4 Tb Sugar
1 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
1/4 tsp. Salt
1 Tb Cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Whisk together and set aside
2/3 C Milk
1 Large Egg Yolk
1 Tb. Melted Butter
Whisk together then add to dry ingredients. Mix until smooth.
2 Large Egg Whites
Beat until stiff peaks form
Fold egg whites into batter, do not over-mix.
1 large apple
Dice and toss into 1 Tb lemon or orange juice to prevent browning.
Fold apples into batter.
Heat vegetable oil in large dutch oven to 350-375. This is around the donut mark on your candy/deep fry thermometer.
Take completed batter and drop carefully, away from you, by heaping tablespoon into the hot oil. These fritters take about 5 minutes to cook, you should turn each piece a few times during frying to ensure even browning. Allow oil to resume it's proper temperature before moving onto the next batch.
Line a cookie sheet or cooling rack with paper towel to drain. Immediately coat cooked fritters with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar. Serve hot...you the cook will get the cold fritters but the thanks from your gracious family is certainly worth the work and mess right??? Ha Ha....
Seriously, this is not an every Saturday recipe, but is a delicious special breakfast to make from time to time. You can use different fruits, bananas with a peanut butter sauce, raisins with cinnamon sugar, use your imagination just use a fresh fruit, not canned you will end up with a soggy mess.
