Description
Rhubarb Fritters are a delightful treat made with fresh rhubarb, flour, and spices, fried to golden perfection and dusted with powdered sugar.
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 ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
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. Do not overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F.
- Using a spoon or 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 fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy warm!
Notes
- For a twist, try adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter for a refreshing citrus flavor.
- You can also substitute half of the rhubarb with diced strawberries for a fruity variation.
