Apple Fritters
Cripsy light Fritters with Apple and Fresh Sage
Ingredients
- 2 Large Apples I use a tangy apple like Pink Lady or Granny Smith
- 125 g Organic Plain White Flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 35 g Sugar Granulated or Caster are fine
- 1 large Egg
- 125 g Milk I sometime add more if the mixture seems too thick
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon plus
- 8 Sage Leaves Chopped very finely
- Vegetable Oil Enough to cover the bottom of your frying pan and about 1cm height
Instructions
- Peel & Chop the apples into very small chunks. These fritters take hardly any time at all to cook so you want the apple to be small enough to soften
- In a large bowl, put the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar
- Whisk the egg and add alternately with the milk until all combined
- Add the apples and 1/2tsp of the cinnamon
- This is now your base mixture
- Add the sage to one half and the extra 1/2 tsp cinnamon to the other
- Heat your frying pan and drop the mixture in - a teaspoon at a time - You don't want any bigger as the outsides will cook too quickly and the middle may not be completely done
- You will probably get away with doing about 5 fritters at once
- Turn over after a few seconds, when the bottom is golden - B Careful, they are easily overdone!
- After about 30-40 seconds or just before they are the colour you think they should be (Trust me!) remove from the pan ad leave to dry on kitchen paper
- Sprinkle each of the sage fritters with sugar - I like the cinnamon fritters sprinkled with icing sugar
