Ingredients:
Ingredient | Quantity |
---|---|
Strawberry grapes | 250g |
Whole milk | 120ml |
All-purpose flour | 180g |
Baking powder | 1 tsp |
Eggs | 2 |
Brandy | 1 tbsp |
Fine salt | 1 pinch |
Granulated sugar | 80g |
Ground cinnamon | ½ tsp |
Powdered sugar | q.b. |
Ground cinnamon (for garnish) | 1 pinch |
Instructions:
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the granulated sugar using a hand whisk until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly fluffy. Gradually add in the whole milk, fine salt, and brandy, continuing to mix.
-
Slowly sift in the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and baking powder, making sure to incorporate the dry ingredients well to avoid any lumps. Mix until the batter reaches a smooth, soft consistency.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter, ensuring it remains light and airy.
-
Carefully wash and dry the strawberry grapes, then add them to the batter, folding them in delicately so they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
-
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter with grapes into the oil. Fry until the fritters turn golden brown on all sides, taking about 2-3 minutes per batch.
-
Once the fritters are golden and crispy, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
-
Serve the strawberry grape fritters warm, dusted with powdered sugar and a light pinch of ground cinnamon. They are perfect as a sweet, indulgent treat for any occasion.
