Polish Apple Fritters

Ingredients

Batter:

·  1 1/2 cups sour milk (add about 1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar to 1 1/2 cups whole milk and let stand for a few minutes to sour), or buttermilk

·  2 large eggs

·  1 slightly heaping cup all-purpose flour

·  1/2 teaspoon salt

·  1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder

Apples:

·  2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and coarsely grated

Oil for Frying:

·  Vegetable oil or canola oil

Garnish:

·  Confectioners' sugar

Preparation

1. For the batter: in a blender, mix milk and eggs until creamy. Add the flour, salt and baking powder, and blend into a smooth batter. Let the batter rest 15 minutes.
2. Transfer the batter to a large bowl and add grated apples, mixing well. Heat enough oil to come halfway up the sides of a large skillet. Portion out batter into skillet and fry until golden brown on both sides. Serve hot dusted with confectioners' sugar.
