Apple Fritters
From easydonculinaryarts 15 years agoIngredients
- 3 large crisp eating apples, such as Granny Smith (see note) shopping list
- juice of one lemon shopping list
- 3 Tablespoons sugar, plus extra for dusting shopping list
- 3/4 cup all-purpose fllour shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 2 large eggs shopping list
- 1/2 cup water shopping list
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter, melted shopping list
- peanut oil for deep -frying shopping list
How to make it
- 1. Core and peal apples. Slice them 1/3 inch thick and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle with about 1 Tablespoon of the lemon juice and the 3 Tablespoons of sugar. Toss well and allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- 2. Sift the flour andsalt together into a medium-size bowl. (Keep the sifter nearby.) Make a slight hollow in the center and add the egg yolks, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and1/4 cup of the water. Mix with a wooden spoon. Then add the remaining 1/4 cup water and the melted butter, beating hard and pressing the batter against the bowl to break up lumps.
- 3. Pour oil to a depth of 3 inches in a stockpot or dutch oven,"I used a deep-fryer" heat to 365*F
- 4. While the oil is heating, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Fold tthem into the batter. Drain the apple slices in a sieve.
- 5. When the oil reaches 365*F, take a handful of apple slices and drop them into the batter to coat completely. Using your fingers, pick up one slice at a time and allow the excess batter to drain off before dropping it into the oil. Do not crowd the pot, and keep the temperature between 350*F and 365*F. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with sifted sugar. Repeat with the remaining apple slices. NOTE: Do not use baking apples for this recipe.
