Easy Blueberry Fritters
- Yield: 24 pieces
- Prep: 15 minutes
- Cook: 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 1cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4cup granulated sugar
- 2teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/3cup milk
- 1large egg
- 1tablespoon butter, melted
- 1teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1cup fresh blueberries
- Canola oil for frying
- Confectioner's sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt until well blended.
- In a small bowl, whisk together milk, egg, butter and vanilla. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry, stirring with a spatula just until combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Heat about 3-4 inches of canola oil in a Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Do not heat the oil too quickly or above medium heat or the fritters will burn.
- Drop batter by the tablespoonful into the hot oil. I usually put in 5 at a time. Do not leave the pot while the fritters are cooking. Flip occasionally to promote even browning. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes until fritters are cooked through.
- Remove from pot with slotted spoon and let drain on a paper towel lined plate. Dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm.
