Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup diced apples (about 1 medium apple)
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cardamom, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the diced apples.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully drop rounded tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a wire rack set over paper towels to drain.
- Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- Ensure your oil is at the correct temperature before frying; too cool and the fritters will be greasy, too hot and they will burn before cooking through.
- Feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon along with the cardamom for an extra layer of spice.
- These fritters are best enjoyed fresh, still warm from the fryer.
