- CINNAMON FRITTERS Ingredients for 6 persons : 400 gr [14 oz] plain flour / 80 gr [3 oz] soft (unsalted) butter / 75 gr [2.5 oz] sugar / 4 eggs / 1 tspoon baking powder / 2-3 pinches cinnamon / 1 pinch salt For frying : 1 liter [2 pints] frying oil To top : 50 gr [2 oz] icing sugar - Work the butter and sugar with a fork ; add the cinnamon, the salt, then the eggs one by one (beat well between each). Add the baking powder then the flour ; mix well. - Leave the pastry for 1 hour before frying, the fritters will be lighter. - Heat the oil at 180°C / 350°F ; with 2 spoons, form balls of pastry which you let slowly fall into the oil. Put 5 to 10 balls at a time (they should not touch each other) ; leave in the oil 3 minutes then turn them and leave 3 more minutes. - Take them out with a skimmer and let them strain on kitchen paper ; fry as many batches as needed. - Serve warm, spread with icing sugar… Of course, if you do not like cinnamon, you can flavour your fritters to your own taste (vanilla powder, orange essence, etc…). |
