My husband and I enjoy these fritters with morning coffee, writes Kelly Cox, Fayetteville, North Carolina. Ingredients:
2-1/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/2 cup milk |
1/4 cup canola oil |
2 tablespoons honey |
2 eggs |
1 medium ripe pear, peeled and chopped |
additional oil for deep-fat frying |
sugar or confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. In a saucepan, heat the milk, oil and honey to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat until moistened. Add eggs; beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in pear. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
2. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls, a few at a time, into hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels. Roll in sugar while warm. Serve warm. Yield: about 3 dozen.
