Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 Egg
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar (for coating)
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for coating)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the milk and melted unsalted butter.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms. Avoid overmixing.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of the batter into the hot oil. Fry the fritters in small batches, avoiding overcrowding the pot.
Cook each fritter for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the coating. Roll each warm fritter in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
Serve the fritters warm, and enjoy their sweet, spiced flavor alongside a cup of coffee or tea!
