Description
Rhubarb Fritters are a delightful sweet and tangy treat, perfect for dessert or a snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped into small pieces
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well to ensure the rhubarb is coated with the dry ingredients.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the fritters for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Dust the warm fritters with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- For a twist, add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter before frying.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious dessert option.
