Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Finely chop the fresh rhubarb and place it in a bowl. Sprinkle sugar over the chopped rhubarb and toss gently. Allow to sit for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly combined.
  3. Beat an egg until fluffy, then mix in the milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined, then add the sugared rhubarb and fold it in.
  5. Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Drop tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil and fry for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil and cool slightly.
  8. In a small bowl, mix icing sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to reach your desired glaze consistency.
  9. Drizzle the sweet vanilla glaze over your warm Rhubarb Fritters and serve immediately.
