makes about 1 dozen fritters, can be expanded as needed.
1 cup flour (we used bread flour, ap flour works just fine)
1 cup sparkling water
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large apple, peeled, cored and chopped
Cinnamon sugar
Vegetable oil -- filled to recommended levels in a deep fat fryer, or about 4 inches deep in a heavy, straight sided kettle.
Preparation
Mix together the flour, water and egg. Stir apples into batter until all of the apple chunks are coated with.
Heat vegetable oil in deep fat fryer to 375 degrees.
Test oil readiness by dropping in a small drop of dough in oil.
The oil should bubble around the dough and it should float to the surface.
Drop a large spoonful of batter (about 1/3 of a cup) into the oil.
Total cooking time should be about 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Use a plastic slotted spoon to turn fritters over in the oil so they are evenly browned.
Remove fritters with slotted spoon. Place on paper towels to drain for a minute or two.
