Cucur Apple

Nak kongsi resepi Apple Fritters. Mula-mula tengok kat rancangan masak Anna Olson. Tengok dia buat memang macam sangat straightforward. Siapa yang rajin buat kuih memang la tak susah. Yang tak rajin macam saya tapi semangat aje yang lebih ni memang tak mudah la.

Alhamdulillah setelah dicuba dan dilaksanakan ikut step yang dia bagi tu jadi la apple fritters saya. Gambar pun tak ambil. Gambar ni dari google. Tapi hampir sama dengan hasil buatan saya.

Rasa dia macam kek. Cuma dia digoreng. Makan waktu panas dengan air kopi memang nikmat la.

Ini resipi Anna Olson. Selamat mencuba. Saya pun cari kekuatan untuk cuba buat sekali lagi.


Ingredients

Apples
2 medium tart apples, peeled and coarsely grated
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons sugar
1 pinch ground cinnamon

Batter
2/3 cup sour cream (full fat) - i replace with yoghurt
1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp sugar
2 large eggs, separated
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
vegetable oil, for frying
icing sugar, for dusting



Directions

Apples
1. Toss the grated apple with the lemon zest, juice, and the cinnamon and let sit a few minutes (to soften the apple).

Batter
1. Whisk the sour cream, ½ cup of the sugar and egg yolks to blend. Stir in the grated apple (including any juices). In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Stir this into the sour cream mixture until blended, then stir in the melted butter. Whip the egg whites until foamy then add 2 tablespoons of sugar and continue whipping until they hold a soft peak. Fold the whites into the batter and use right away.
2. Pour the oil into a tabletop deep fryer following manufacturer's instructions (or into a large, deep pot so that it is only filled about 3 inches). Heat the oil to 350 F (use a candy thermometer if cooking doughnuts in a pot). Have a baking tray lined with paper towel, with a cooling rack placed over it. Use a small ice cream scoop and carefully drop scoops of batter into the oil, making sure there is enough room between them to cook evenly. Cook the fritters for about 3 minutes on each side, then remove using a slotted spoon and let drain and cool for at least 10 minutes before dusting and enjoying.
3. The fritters can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature on the day they are cooked.
