Description
Delicious and sweet rhubarb fritters that are perfect for a snack or dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped into small pieces
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well to coat the rhubarb with the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F.
- Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Dust the warm fritters with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- For a sweeter twist, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
