- Total time

- Ingredients
- 9
Ingredients
- 300 g flour
- 4 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp oil
- 3 dl water or beer
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 lemon
- 1 l frying oil
- 1 pinch cinnamon
- 4 balls vanilla ice cream
Steps
Preparation
- Gather all the ingredients, but leave the ice cream in the freezer for now.
Apples
- Rinse the apples.
- Remove the cores with an apple corer.
- Peel the apples.
- Cut the apples into slices approximately 1 centimetre thick.
- Squeeze the lemon and sprinkle the juice over the apples.
- Stir occasionally to distribute the lemon juice well.
Batter
- Put the flour and sugar in a large bowl.
- Add the eggs, oil and water or beer.
- Start stirring gently, then speed up until smooth and uniform.
- Leave to rest for up to 10 min.
Frying
- Use your deep-fat fryer or a separate pan.
- Heat the oil to no more than 170°.
- Stir the batter again.
- Dip as many apple slices in the batter as will fit in the pan.
- Dip thoroughly, then carefully place each slice in the oil. Let excess batter drip off the apple slices before putting them in the oil.
- Halfway through cooking, turn the slices so the other side can brown nicely too.
- Cooking time depends greatly on the temperature and your preference and can be as long as 7–8 minutes if you prefer a crisp crust.
- Put the cooked apple fritters on a sheet of kitchen paper to absorb excess fat.
- Cooking a lot? Put the cooked fritters in a dish and keep warm in an oven at no more than 150°.
Serving
- Remove the ice cream from the freezer.
- Put 3 apple fritters on a plate.
- Dust the apple fritters with icing sugar.
- Finish with an extra scoop of vanilla ice cream.
