APPLE FRITTERS...
APPLE FRITTERS
adapted from : The Pioneer Woman; (so delicious)..
Fritters :
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup + extra 3 tbsp sugar
2 1/4 tsp baking powder
1 1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 whole large eggs
3/4 cups whole milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp melted butter
2 whole Granny Smith Apples - peeled and diced
Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Glaze : (optional)
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup milk
Directions :
1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a fork, then add milk, melted butter and vanilla extract.
3. Gently fold dry and wet ingredients together until just combined (do not overmix). Fold in apples. Add enough apples to make a very chunky batter. You want the apples to shine though!!
4. Heat a couple of inches of canola oil over medium to medium-low heat. When it gets hot, drop a little drop of batter into the oil. If it sizzles immediately and rises to the top, the oil is ready; if it burns quickly, turn down the heat.
5. Drop teaspoons of batter into the hot oil, six or eight at a time. Sometimes they'll flip over by themselves; sometimes you have to flip them. Just watch them and make sure they don't get too brown, but cook them long enough to make sure the batter's cooked through, about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes total.
6. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Dust very generously with powdered sugar, or dip fritters in a light doughnut glaze (mix all glaze ingredients together, then dunk warm fritters). Serve warm.
NOTE : May be heated up the next day in a 350'F oven for 8 minutes...
