Milky Sweet Fritters Recipes

Steps:

• Mix the flour, baking powder, paprika and milk together in a large bowl. Mix in the egg, followed by the sweetcorn, chopped spring onions, chives, parsley, 1 tsp salt and some freshly ground black pepper.
• Heat a 1cm depth of oil in a frying pan over a medium heat until a small amount of the fritter mixture sizzles when dropped in. For larger fritters, drop 2 heaped tablespoons of the mixture into the pan at a time in a clockwise direction (this will help you remember the order they were added to the pan, so you can flip them at the right stage). For smaller fritters, do the same, but with 1 heaped tablespoon of mixture at a time.
• After 2 mins, flip the fritters over in the same order they were added to the pan. Cook for another 2 mins, continuing to turn every now and then to ensure both sides are evenly golden brown. When ready, the fritters should be darker brown with crispy pieces of corn at the edges - be careful, as some of the kernels may burst during the cooking process. Remove to a wire rack and pat away any excess oil using kitchen paper. Serve straightaway with a few strips of spring onion scattered over, if you like.

Steps:

• For basic fritter batter: Combine flour, baking powder and salt; stir to blend. Add egg and melted margarine; stir until well blended. Add milk (or fruit juice), mix well. Let stand 30 minutes.
• Ham Fritters: Add minced ham to basic batter. Drop by spoonfuls into hot oil and deep fry.
• Banana Fritters: Peel and quarter bananas. Dip bananas in batter and saute in margarine until golden brown on all sides.
• Apple Fritters: Stir apples into basic batter. Drop by spoonfuls into hot oil and deep fry.
• *Note* You can make peach or apricot fritters by using canned fruit. Use the fruit syrup for the liquid in the basic batter. Dice fruit and mix with batter. Deep fry as for the apple fritters.

Steps:

• Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
• In a large bowl beat the eggs.
• Add the sugar, followed by the milk and vanilla.
• Gradually stir in the flour mixture.
• Stir in the carrots.
• Heat oil over medium / high heat until hot.
• Drop the batter by heaping spoonfuls, turning the fritter to brown on all sides.
• Drain on paper towel then dust with the confectioners' sugar.
