Apple Fritters

Oil for deep-frying

Flour for coating

15ml Lemon Juice

4-5 Apples, peeled, cored & sliced thickly

50g sugar 15ml Milk

15ml melted butter or oil

2 XLG Eggs

125g Cake Flour

Pinch of salt

Extra sugar mixed with cinnamon

Sift salt and flour together, add 1 egg (separate other) and add the yolk, melted butter and sugar.

Mix thoroughly and allow chilling in refrigerator for 35min.

Take apple slices and coat with lemon juice then dust with flour.

Beat egg white until stiff, and fold into chilled batter, and dip apple slices in only 2-3 at a time.

Make sure that the oil is heated (make sure that it is not to hot or the apple will not cook properly) and deep fry till golden brown.

Drain on paper towels, and then dust with castor sugar and cinnamon.

Variations:

Fresh or canned pineapple slices, or bananas’ cut lengths ways.

Tip’s:

Oil should be between 180’c and 190’C

Be careful not to add to much sugar as this tends to turn the fritters brown before they are done.

Best enjoyed warm.
