An Apple Fritter Treat

APPLE FRITTERS 🍏🍎

What rhymes with fritters?  Jitters,  nippers, litters? 😁

Inspired by my Ate J#2 who made a batch recently and made me and my sissies drool via Zoom over her creation.  ♬🎜Do you know the way to San Jose? Let's go there for some freshly-made-apple-fritter! ♬🎜  I do wish our huge family just live next door to each other. 
So one fine weekend, with a couple apples left in our basket, we tried it too. The kitchen smelled most promisingly heavenly while these were fryin! 


Recipe for ~16 fritters: 

fruit

  • 3 large apples
  • 1 lemon
dry ingredients
  • 1.5 cup flour
  • 3 tbsp   sugar
  • 2.5 tsp  baking powder
  • 1 tsp     salt
  • 1/2 tsp  cinnamon
  • 1 pinch  nutmeg
wet ingredients
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice (~from half of a lemon)
  • oil for frying
  • 2/3 cup  milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbsp melted butter, room temperature

Steps:

  1. Peel, core, and slice the apples to about 1/2" thick. 
    Save the peelings for a very near-future salad topping.
  2. 1st bowl, combine the lemon juice and apple.
  3. 2nd bowl (aka final bowl), add all dry ingredients. Whisk to combine.
  4. 3rd bowl, combine all wet ingredients (except butter).
  5. Pour wet ingredients to the 2nd bowl. Use a spatula to fold together until almost combined.
  6. Add the diced apple. (yum!)
  7. Add the butter. (finally!)
  8. Mix nicely with a spatula.
  9. Prepare hot oil in a deep pan.
  10. Scoop apple fritters into the pan.
  11. Cook till nicely more-than-golden-brown and crispy.
  12. Rest in a paper towel and transfer to a baking rack.
  13. Toss with cinnamon sugar or drizzle with cinnamon glaze.

Serve immediately and enjoy!


Verdict: 6 out of 10.  not too bad for a v0.1.
guess we have a very particular kind of sweet tooth. But, we did not follow the recipe to a T.  I only had 2 large apples, which on hindsight was apparently a big deal. So, lesson learned, follow Preppy Kitchen's advise - 3 apples. more apples than batter. yes. yes.
Here's what we made (at lower middle of image below):

Creamy Miso 🥣

I hated miso soup. And then I loved it ever since. This comfort soup may have a slight tangy taste depending on what type of miso is used. My hubby does not like a hint of sour/tangy stuff. To discover that milk could be added to spin off the taste was a welcome revelation!!! The aroma and taste always takes me back to my days in Japan. My very 1st sip of miso soup was at the canteen of an all-ladies dorm during my very 1st work trip in beautiful Tamagawa prefecture. It was my 1st time away from my motherland, and 1st time to experience winter, at that. To say that I was in a state of culture shock is an understatement. I loved soft fluffy Japanese rice. The roasted flaky saba fish. Ramen noodles. Crunchy karaage. Not miso soup though. I hated miso soup. But that fateful cold night, I have just reached "home" from the 10-minutes trudge from work. A quick change to warmer clothes, I was immediately at the dinner table. The warm soup felt grudgingly comforting. The next spoonf...

perfect fried rice

Batch 1: cook meat sliced to thin cubes (4 pcs pork shoulder or chicken gillet) Batch 2: 1 carrots minced 5 garlic minced 1 onion diced Batch 3: 3 eggs beaten cooked meat in bite-size Batch 4: 7 cups old rice - chilled and clumps separated 2 1/2 tbsp soy sauce 2 tbsp fish sauce 1 tsp mirin 1 tsp sesame oil Add seasoning, to taste: Pepper red chili flakes - optional Add Toppings: 1 green onion, thinly slice You can also add: roasted nuts, sliced pineapples Instructions: In a wok, put 2 tbsp oil then cook and set aside each batch (batch 1 to batch 4) Tips: Use the WOK. Use high heat.  🔥 The thinner the meat slice, the quicker & better cooked it will be. Do not put so much rice at 1 go.  This keeps the wok really hot. Do not put so much sauce or rice will get sticky; you can always add more at the end to taste.
