Rhubarb fritters

Have you ever tried the rhubarb fritters? Rhubarb fritters are such a go-to recipe this spring! Only if you are a fan of rhubarb, of course ;). Make sure to sprinkle with icing sugar before serving.

Ingredients for four servings:

• 125 ml milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 30 g butter, melted and cooled
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 250 g plain flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• a large pinch of salt
• 2 Tbsp orange juice
• 350 g rhubarb

Also:

• Icing sugar for sprinkling
• rapeseed oil for frying

Wash the rhubarb and cut it into slices roughly 0.5 cm thick. Don’t peel the skin off.

Add the milk, eggs, sugar, butter, and vanilla extract to a bowl. Beat with a whisk until all of the ingredients are combined. Add in sifted plain flour, baking powder and salt. Mix with a whisk until combined.  The fritter batter might be pretty thick – add two tablespoons of orange juice and mix. Add in chopped rhubarb and mix. Alternatively, all ingredients for the fritters can be mixed in a blender before adding rhubarb.

Fry in deep oil, like doughnuts. First, dip a tablespoon into the oil and place a spoonful of batter into the oil (1 flat tablespoon = 1 fritter). Fry at 175°C, on both sides, until brown. After frying, put on a kitchen towel to soak up the excess oil. After the fritters have slightly cooled down, sprinkle with icing sugar and serve.

Enjoy!
