Suggested Recipes
-
1-1/3 cups (325 mL) all-purpose flour
2 tbsp (25 mL) granulated sugar
1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
1 cup (250 mL) cold beer
2 tbsp (25 mL) butter, melted
2 eggs, separated
4 apples (about 1 kg/500 g)
Oil for deep-frying (canola, safflower or vegetable)
2 tbsp (25 mL) icing sugar
Preparation:
In large bowl, whisk 1-1/4 cups (300 mL) of the flour, sugar and salt, and then whisk in beer. Whisk butter with egg yolks; stir into batter. Cover and let stand for 2 hours. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 12 hours.)
In another bowl, beat egg whites until stiff but not dry peaks form; fold into batter. Place bowl in larger bowl of ice water; let stand for 15 minutes or until cold.
Meanwhile, peel and core apples; slice into 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick rings. Pat dry. Sprinkle with remaining flour. Three at a time, dip apple slices in batter, allowing excess to drip off.
Meanwhile, in deep fryer, wok or deep saucepan, heat about 2 inches (5 cm) oil until deep-fryer thermometer reads 350°F (180°C). Deep-fry apple fritters, in batches and turning once, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. With slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. (Make-ahead: Let cool. Place on foil-lined rimmed baking sheet; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Bake in 375°F/190°C oven for 15 minutes or until hot and crisp.) Sprinkle with icing sugar. Serve warm. Makes about 32 pieces.
