I got this recipe from my niece's son. Since we live in apple country, we have enjoyed apple fritters for many years. This rhubarb treat is a nice change for spring when apples are few and rhubarb is plentiful. -Helen Budinock, Wolcott, New York Ingredients:
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 eggs, separated |
1/2 cup milk |
1 tablespoon butter, melted |
2 cups finely chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb, thawed and drained |
oil for deep-fat frying |
confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine flour, 1 cup sugar and salt. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks, milk and butter. Gradually add to dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.
2. Toss rhubarb with remaining sugar; gently stir into batter. In a small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Fold into batter.
3. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls into oil. Fry a few at a time, turning with a slotted spoon until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve warm. Yield: about 3 dozen.
