Apple Fritters Recipe

Ingredients

Serve 6

• 2 tbsp active dry yeast

• 1/2 cup/125 ml milk

• 3 1/3 cups/500 g all purpose/plain flour

• 1/8 tsp salt

• 8 oz/250 g apples, peeled cored and coarsely chopped

• 2 cups/500 ml oil, for frying

• 4 tbsp granulated sugar

• 2 cups/500 ml plain yogurt

• 4 tbsp clear honey

Method:

1. Mix the yeast and milk in a small bowl. Let stand for 15 minutes until foamy.

2. Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl. Mix in the yeast mixture and apples to make a soft dough. Cover and let rise for about 90 minutes.

3. Roll the dough out on a floured surface to 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. Cut out 4-inch (10-cm) rounds.

4. Heat the oil in a deep-fryer until very hot and fry in small batches for 5 minutes, or until golden brown all over.

5. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain well on paper towels. Sprinkle with the sugar.

6. Serve hot with the yogurt and honey in separate bowls.
