Ingredients
The following ingredients have 24 Servings
- 2 cups Flour
- 3 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 2/3 cup Sugar
- 1/3 cup Buttermilk
- 1/3 cup Whole Milk
- 2 Eggs
- 2 Tablespoons Butter (Melted)
- 2 1/2 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and chopped small (approximately 3 Granny Smith or Honeycrisp))
- Cooking Oil (enough to fill pan a few inches)
- Powdered Sugar
- Cinnamon Sugar
- Vanilla Bean Glaze (powdered sugar, milk, vanilla bean)
Instruction
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Add buttermilk, whole milk, eggs, and melted butter. Stir.
- Fold in peeled and chopped apples.
- Heat several inches of canola oil over 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. If you are using a thermometer, the oil should be at approximately 340 degrees.
- Drop small teaspoons of apple fritter batter into the hot oil, about 5 or 6 at a time. Watch them carefully and turn after 1-2 minutes. Cook until golden brown and batter is cooked through -- about 3-4 minutes, depending on how hot the oil is in the pan.
- Remove and drain on a paper towel. Dust with powdered sugar, or dip fritters in a cinnamon sugar or vanilla bean glaze (made with powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla bean). May dunk in homemade creme anglaise sauce or pastry cream.
- Serve warm.
