Fringy Fritters

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

About the Recipe: Fritters are found in many cuisines. This recipe was served to us as a breakfast treat many years ago. It is so easy to make, and I loved the idea that if the dough isn’t used up, you could refrigerate it for the next day. It’s fun to serve them with an assortment of jams and jellies.

Why are Fritters a comfort food?
Fritters are deep-fried little pieces of yeast dough or chou paste. Some of them are savory with bits of seafood, meat, or vegetables, and others are sweet fritters tossed with cinnamon sugar. They are often served with jelly or jams.

Frying Fritters: Heat oil to 375 degrees F. Place about 3 to 4 balls in frying basket of a deep fryer; cook for about 3-1/2 minutes; turning with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula each minute to brown them evenly. Remove to paper towel lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Sugar Coat Fritters: Place granulated sugar and cinnamon in paper bag.  Place hot fritters in bag and shake to coat with sugar.  Remove to serving plate.  Continue frying remaining fritters and coating with sugar mixture.

To Serve:  Place warm fritters in serving basket.  Serve with apricot and strawberry jelly or your favorite jam.

Yield:  about 3 dozen small fritters
