Beer Batter Apple Fritters | Sobeys | July 25, 2024

I fancy going to a funfair. It's been a few years since I last strolled through stands, wondering if I'd rather try my hand at coconut shie or balloons and darts, or take a ride in a bumper car. In the end, I bought myself freshly fried churros and sat on a bench, eating the delectable treat whilst observing sheer elation on very young faces. Making these Pineapple Fritters reminded me of the laughter, the music, the sugary smells, and I long for an arvo at the carnival. And since I can supply my own beignets, this time I shall hop on a bumper car!

Ingredients (serves 3):

a medium, ripe sweet pineapple

2 large eggs

25 grams/1 ounce demerara sugar

130 grams/4.5 ounces plain flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

about 1/2 cup Almond Milk

a plump vanilla bean

Vegatbale oil for frying

1/3 cup Cinnamon Sugar

Peel and cut pineapple into thick slices. Remove the hard core of the pineapple slices with an apple corer. Set aside.

Break the eggs in a medium bowl, and whisk energically with the demerara sugar until pale yellow and fluffy.

Sieve in the flour and baking powder and give a good stir.

Scrape the seeds off the vanilla bean, and add to the bowl. Gradually whisk in Almond Milk, until you have a smooth batter.

Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet.

Spoon Cinnamon Sugar in a shallow plate. Set aside.

Once the oil is very hot, dip a pineapple slice into the vanilla batter, coating well, and carefully drop into the simmering oil. Fry, 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown on each side and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.

Then, roll into Cinnamon Sugar, and place onto serving plate. Repeat with remaining pineapple slices, frying them in small batches.

COUNTRY APPLE FRITTER BREAD 🍎🍎

INGREDIENTS:

1/3 CUP Light brown sugar

1 tsp Ground cinnamon

2/3 CUP White sugar

1/2 CUP Butter, softened

2 Eggs

1 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract

1 1/2 CUPS All-purpose flour

1 3/4 tsp Baking powder

1/2 CUP Milk

2 Apples, peeled and chopped

Old-Fashioned Creme Glaze

1/2 CUP Powdered sugar

2 Tbsp of milk or cream

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl. Set aside.

In another medium-sized bowl, beat white sugar and butter together using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until blended in; add in vanilla extract.

Combine & whisk flour and baking powder together in another bowl and add into creamed butter mixture and stir until blended. Mix milk into batter until smooth.

Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan; add half of the chopped apples, then half the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture.

Lightly pat apples into batter.

Pour the remaining batter over apple layer and top with remaining apples, then the remaining brown sugar/cinnamon mixture.

Lightly pat apples into batter; swirl brown sugar mixture through apples using knife or spoon.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, approximately 50-60 minutes.

To make glaze, mix powdered sugar and milk or cream together until well mixed.

The Cajun seasoning in these chicken fritters gives them a lot of flavor, and the tangy Creole mustard dipping sauce goes great with them. They taste great as an appetizer or snack.

Ingredients: 1 lb chicken breast, diced. 1/2 cup breadcrumbs. 1 egg. 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning. 1/4 cup chopped green onions. 1/4 cup diced bell peppers. 1/4 cup diced onions. 1/4 cup flour. 1/4 cup mayonnaise. 2 tbsp Creole mustard. 1 tbsp lemon juice. Salt and pepper to taste. Oil for frying.

Instructions: Diced chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, green onions, bell peppers, onions, salt, and pepper should all be mixed together in a bowl. Make small fritters out of the mixture, and then sprinkle flour on top of each one. Put oil in a pan and heat it over medium-high heat. They should be fried for three to four minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked. Add the lemon juice, mayonnaise, and Creole mustard to another bowl. Mix them together to make the dipping sauce. Hot Cajun chicken fritters should be served with Creole mustard sauce for dipping.
