Fresh Apple Fritters
Here are my homemade apple fritters: healthy pan fried apple bites coated with a crispy rice batter... What a crunchy treat!
Ingredients
- 2 medium Granny Smith apples
- 4,5 oz risotto rice (125 g)
- ½ cup water (120 ml)
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- ⅓ cup frying oil (80 ml)
- icing sugar
- salt
Instructions
-
1. Soak the rice in the water for 1 hour.
-
2. Then process water and rice into a slightly runny batter that coats the back of a spoon easily. Add the plain flour, brown sugar and a pinch of salt.
-
3. Pulse again. Then add more water if the batter is too thick. If the batter is too watery, add extra flour and pulse again until you get the right consistency. In the end stir in the sesame seeds (don't process the seeds).
-
4. Peel the apples. Then cut both horizontally into 3 thick slices. Remove the core and seeds. Heat the oil in a large pan. Dredge the apple slices in the rice batter.
-
5. Add the apple to the hot frying oil.
-
6. Brown on one side for 2 minutes until nicely golden. Flip it over and brown the other side.
-
7. Let the apple fritters drain quickly on kitchen paper. Then transfer them onto plates. Sprinkle with the powder sugar and serve hot.
