Description
Crispy Rhubarb Fritters with Sweet Glaze are delightful treats that combine the tartness of rhubarb with a sweet glaze, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped into small pieces
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well to coat the rhubarb with the dry ingredients.
- In another bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat until hot (around 350°F).
- Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm fritters before serving.
Notes
- To enhance the flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the batter or mixing in some chopped nuts for added crunch.
- For a fruity twist, try substituting half of the rhubarb with diced strawberries or apples.
