Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 ½ cups | Self-rising flour |
| 1 cup | Sugar |
| 2 | Eggs |
| ⅔ cup | Milk |
| 1 cup | Apples (peeled, diced) |
| 3 | Confectioners’ sugar (for dusting) |

| NA | (Optional: Additional powdered sugar for serving) |
Instructions
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour and sugar until well blended, ensuring there are no lumps and the mixture is light and airy. This will create the perfect base for your fritters.
-
-
Add Wet Ingredients: Crack the eggs into the flour mixture, and then pour in the milk along with 1 tablespoon of oil. Fold in the diced apples gently, taking care not to overmix the batter, as a light touch will ensure a tender fritter.
-
Prepare for Frying: In a large, deep skillet or a heavy-bottomed pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough that a small drop of batter sizzles upon contact, but not so hot that it begins to smoke.
-
Cook Fritters: Using a spoon or small scoop, drop the batter by spoonfuls into the hot oil, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. They should puff up slightly as they cook.
-
Drain: Once cooked, carefully remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon, allowing excess oil to drip off, and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any remaining oil.
-
Dust with Sugar: While the fritters are still warm, roll them in confectioners’ sugar, coating them generously for a sweet finish.
-
Serve: Enjoy your freshly made apple fritters immediately, paired perfectly with cold glasses of milk or your favorite warm beverage. These fritters are best eaten right away for that irresistible warmth and sweetness!
