Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams cream of wheat
- 500 milliliters milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 eggs
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 milliliters vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- sour cream or jam (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium-sized pot, bring the milk to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Gradually whisk in the cream of wheat, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Lower the heat and simmer, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes, until the mixture thickens.
Stir in the sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
Remove the pot from the heat and let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes.
Once the mixture is cool enough to handle, mix in the eggs one at a time, stirring until fully combined.
Gradually add the flour and mix until a soft, sticky dough forms.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Using slightly wet hands or a spoon, form small, flat fritters from the dough, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
Fry the fritters in batches, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Dust the fritters with powdered sugar and serve warm with sour cream or jam, if desired.
