So I'm not over fritters yet. But this time I want to make fritters for snack instead. I grew up eating banana fritters, dipped in granulated sugar or sprinkled on top. It was a comfort food. Been thinking of cooking one but since I have a lot of apples, then I thought I will settle for apple fritters for now.
Fritters are fried food composed of main ingredient, the batter. Then depends on your recipe, you can add fruits, seafood, meat and vegetables. Different countries have their own version of fritters. Tempura in Japan, twigim in Korea, gorengan in Indonesia etc. I grew up eating banana fritters (maruya) and shrimp and pumpkin fritters (okoy). Here in US, apple fritters are very popular, they are mostly glazed or just sprinkled powdered sugar on top.
Below is the recipe for my apple fritters
Ingredients
2 pcs apples, washed, cored and diced
2 cups bread flour
2 pcs eggs
2 1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
2 tsp butter, melted
1 cup Milk 2%
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup powdered sugar to sprinkle on top
Procedure
Mix all the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and cinnamon powder)
In a separate bowl, mix eggs, butter and milk. Pour over the dry ingredients.
Fold in apples.
Deep fry until golden brown.
Sprinkle powdered sugar on top. Serve.
While writing this blog, I thought of experimenting on mango, pineapple or other fruits as a substitute for my fritters. I mean, why not? Right? The possibilities are endless, the only limitation is your imagination.
