Apple Fritters: Breakfast-Brunch

Servings: 8

Prep time:15 Minutes

Ingredients:

• 

  1 3/4 cups flour

• 

  1/4 cup cornstarch

• 

  1 tablespoon baking powder

• 

  1 teaspoon Salt

• 

  1 teaspoon salt

• 

  2 cups milk

• 

  3 cups canola cooking oil

• 

  3 cups cups peeled, cored and coarsely chopped apples

• 

  1 teaspoon cinamon

• 

  1 tablespoon powdered sugar for dusting

Step 1:

Preparation • Make the batter - In a large bowl, stir together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, 1 tsp cinnamon and ½ tsp salt. Beat in the milk just until a smooth batter forms. • Heat the oil – Pour the oil to a depth of 2 inches into a deep, heavy frying pan over high heat and heat to 350 degrees F on a deep-frying thermometer. Line a plate with paper towels and set next to the stove.

Step 2:

Cooking • Deep fry the fritters – Stir the apples into the batter. Working in batches, scoop up 1 heaping tablespoon of the apple batter and use another spoon to slide it into the hot oil. Repeat to add more fritters to the oil; do not crowd the pan. Deep-fry using tongs to turn once, until the fritters are just golden on all sides, 3-4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to the paper towels to drain. • Dust and Serve – Dust the fritters lightly with powdered sugar and serve at once
