Valentine Breakfast Fritters Recipe

What You Need:

2 C + 1 T canola oil, divided
1 lg. egg, slightly beaten
1/2 C milk
1 C sweet apple, peeled, cored and chopped
1 C all purpose flour
1/2 C sugar + 1 T sugar, divided
1 t baking powder
1 1/4 t cinnamon, divided
1/4 t salt
1/2 C strawberry or maple syrup

How to Make It:

Place the 2 C of canola oil into a deep fryer or heavy pan and allow to heat to
365 degrees.

Pour the milk into a bowl with the slightly beaten egg and whisk to combine.
Add the apples to the mixture and gently stir to incorporate.

In a separate mixing bowl toss together the flour, 1 T sugar, the baking powder,
1/4 t cinnamon and the salt.

Add the flour mixture to the egg and milk and blend until all the dry ingredients
are just moistened.

Drop 3 to 4 teaspoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and fry 4 minutes, turning
occasionally for even browning.

Remove the fritters when they are a golden brown with a slotted spoon and place
on a paper towel to drain.

Continue deep frying in this manner being sure to allow the oil to return to the
correct temperature before adding a new batch.

Place the remaining sugar and 3/4 t of the cinnamon into a sealable plastic bag.
Add the fritters a couple at time.

Seal the bag after each addition and shake to cover the fritters well.

Place the fritters on plates.

Place the syrup into a microwave safe bowl.

Stir in the remaining cinnamon until well combined.

Microwave on high for 30 seconds or until the syrup is warmed.

Pour the syrup over the fritters just before serving.

Serving Size:  16 fritters
