Today is National Fritter Day. Fritter is a name applied to a wide variety of fried foods, usually consisting of a portion of batter or breading which has been filled with bits of meat, seafood, fruit, or other ingredients. HOW ABOUT APPLE FRITTERS? INGREDIENTS: Vegetable oil, for deep-frying, 2 cups all-purpose flour,1/2 cup plus 3 tbl granulated sugar, 2 1/4 tsp baking powder, 2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 1/4 tsp salt, 2 large egg s,¾ cup whole milk, 2 tbl melted butter, 2 tsp vanilla extract, 2 Granny Smith apples (are you satisfied Vicki?), cored and cut into small dice. DIRECTIONS: Heat a couple of inches of vegetable oil in a heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium to medium-low heat until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 340°. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a fork, then add the milk, melted butter and vanilla. Gently fold the dry and wet ingredients together until just combined (do not over-mix). Fold in the apples, adding enough to make a very chunky batter. Drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, 6 to 8 at a time. Fry until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Recipe courtesy of Ree Drummond.
