Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
For Frying and Serving
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
- 1/4 cup honey (warmed, for drizzling)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter will be thick and slightly lumpy, which is perfect for frying.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat 1 to 2 inches of vegetable or canola oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature for even frying.
- Fry the Fritters: Carefully drop rounded tablespoons of batter into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry each side for about 2 to 3 minutes, until the fritters turn golden brown and puff up. Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the fritters and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve with Honey: While the fritters are still warm, drizzle them generously with warmed honey. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for added sweetness and presentation. Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp texture and warm flavors.
Notes
- For extra flavor, mix in chopped apples or bananas to the batter before frying.
- Instead of powdered sugar, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar for a spiced twist.
- Fritters are best served fresh on the same day for maximum crispness.
