Ingredients
FRITTERS
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ¾ cup (184g) whole milk, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 pint fresh blueberries
- Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
GLAZE
- 1 ¼ cups (156g) confectioners' sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- 3-6 teaspoons water, or until you reach desired consistency (I prefer it on the thinner side)
Instructions
BLUEBERRY FRITTER
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, milk, vanilla, and melted butter.
- Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until combined.
- Fold in the blueberries.
- Fill a frying pan halfway with oil. Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches 375°F with a candy thermometer.
- Slowly drop ¼ cup of batter into the oil and let fry until golden brown, about 2-4 minutes per side depending on the heat of your oil.
- Flip and fry until the opposite side is golden brown. To test for doneness, insert a small knife (or toothpick) into the center. If there's still uncooked batter in the center, fry for a bit longer. Transfer to a paper towel-lined cooling rack and let cool. Repeat with the remaining batter being sure to check the temperature of the oil throughout the process.
GLAZE
- Make the glaze by combining the sugar, vanilla, and 3 teaspoons of water. Add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until a pourable consistency is reached.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled fritters and let dry.
