Ah! You’re talking about crispy, golden-brown fritters—a classic comfort food that can be made sweet or savory. Here’s a simple recipe and tips to get them perfectly golden every time:
🍽 Golden-Brown Fritters
Ingredients (makes 8–10 fritters)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 egg
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup grated vegetable or fruit (e.g., zucchini, corn, apple, or sweet potato)
- Oil for frying (vegetable, sunflower, or canola)
Instructions
1. Make the Batter
- In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Whisk in egg and milk until smooth.
- Fold in your grated vegetable or fruit.
2. Heat the Oil
- Pour about ½ inch of oil into a frying pan.
- Heat over medium heat until hot (test with a tiny drop of batter—it should sizzle immediately).
3. Fry the Fritters
- Drop tablespoons of batter into the hot oil.
- Fry for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
4. Serve
- Savory fritters: Sprinkle with salt, serve with sour cream or dipping sauce.
- Sweet fritters: Sprinkle with powdered sugar or drizzle honey.
💡 Pro Tips for Perfect Golden Fritters
- Don’t overcrowd the pan—fritters need space to cook evenly.
- Keep the oil at medium heat; too hot burns the outside while leaving the inside raw.
- For extra crispiness, add a little cornmeal to the batter.
