Notes
Consistency of Batter: Ensure that the batter is not too thick or too runny.
Oil Temperature: Maintaining the correct oil temperature of 175-190°C (350-375°F) is crucial for achieving crispy and evenly cooked fritters. Too hot, and the fritters will brown too quickly on the outside while remaining raw inside. Too low, and they'll absorb too much oil and become greasy.
Frying in Batches: Avoid overcrowding the pan as it can cause the temperature of the oil to drop, resulting in soggy fritters. Fry the fritters in batches, giving them enough space to cook evenly.
Draining Excess Oil: Place the fried fritters on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. This step helps to prevent them from becoming greasy.
Even Coating of Sugar: Roll the fritters in sugar while they are still warm to ensure that the sugar adheres well to the surface. Coat them evenly for a deliciously sweet exterior.
Serve Warm: Apple fritters are best enjoyed when they are still warm. Serve them immediately after frying for the crispiest texture and the most flavorful experience.
Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Reheat them in the oven or toaster oven for a few minutes before serving to crisp them up again.
