Fritule / Fritters

Ovaj mjesec u sklopu FBI rukavica, igri koju je pokrenula Maja sa bloga Cooks and Bakes, istražujemo blog Recepti iz moje bilježnice. Autorica ovog bloga je istrijanka Snježana, koja nas gotovo svakodnevno uveseljava svojim izvrsnim receptima. Snježana je maherica za torte raznih oblika i okusa, a njeni slani recepti nimalo ne zaostaju kvalitetom.

Nakon puno razmišljanja i kombiniranja još uvijek nisam bila sigurna što isprobati. Izbor je velik, oči gladne, a vremena malo. Na kraju sam odlučila isprobati nešto prigodno. Na sam fašnik, po prvi put sam napravila fritule, i to Snježanine Tik-tak fritule. Ostala sam gotovo zatečena rezultatom. Fritule su bile fenomenalne! Čak je i D., koji je inače mišljenja da su fritule samo blijeda kopija krafni, bio oduševljen. Nismo ih mogli prestati trpati u usta, istovremeno se pitajući što točno znači onaj tik-tak iz naziva :D Mislim da je to najbolja preporuka da isprobate ovaj jednostavan recept.



Recept vam donosim sa svojim sitnim preinakama. Naime, nisam koristila grožđice, a u tijesto sam dodala malo cimeta.

Fritule
originalni recept

1 srednje velika jabuka
200 mll kiselog vrhnja
1 jaje
ribana korica jednog limuna
50 g (3 žlice) šecera
1 vanilin šecer
prstohvat soli
1/4 žličice cimeta
1 žlica ruma
1 prašak za pecivo
350 g glatkog brašna
1 žlica ulja

ulje za prženje
šećer u prahu za serviranje


Jabuku ogulite i sitno je naribajte. Dodajte kiselo vrhnje, šecer, vanilin šecer i jaje te dobro izradite mikserom (spiralni nastavci). Dodajte sol, cimet, naribanu koricu limuna i rum pa umiješajte brašno pomiješano sa praškom za pecivo. Na kraju dodajte žlicu ulja i lagano promiješajte.

U posudi debljeg dna zagrijte ulje na srednje jakoj vatri. Uzmite dvije žličice i umočite ih u vruće ulje. Jednom žličicom zagrabite malo tijesta pa ga pomoću druge žličice spuštajte u ulje. Fritule pržite sa obje strane do zlatnožute boje, a potom ih šupljikavom žlicom izvadite na papirnati ručnik. Prije posluživanja fritule pospite šecerom u prahu.

Fritters are a traditional Croatian dessert typical for the Mediterranean parts of the country. They are a much simpler version of Doughnuts (Berliners) and are traditionally made on Fat Tuesday to celebrate the carnival or during the Christmas time. There are many different versions of this dessert, most of which are usually made with yeast and raisins. This is a very simple, yet unbelievably delicious version with apples.

This recipe makes a huge amount of fritters so feel free to scale down the ingredients.

Fritters
original recipe

1 medium sized apple, peeled and grated
200ml sour cream
1 large egg
zest of one lemon, finely grated
50g sugar
1 bag of vanilla flavored sugar (10g)
pinch of salt
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tbsp. dark rum
350g all purpose flour
1 bag of baking powder (12g)
1 tbsp. oil

neutral oil for frying
powdered sugar to serve

Mix together the flour and baking powder and set aside. Put the grated apple in a large bowl, add sour cream, sugar, vanilla flavored sugar and an egg. Mix thoroughly using a hand mixer (paddle attachments) or a whisk. Add the salt, cinnamon, lemon zest and rum. Mix to blend. Gradually add the flour mixture while mixing with a hand mixer until well incorporated. In the end, stir in the oil.

Heat the oil in a heavy based pan. Take two teaspoons and dip them into the hot oil. Scoop some batter with one teaspoon and carefully drop it into the oil using the other teaspoon. Cook only a few at a time. Fry for 2-3 minutes on both sides, or until golden brown. Once fried, take the fritters out with a skimmer and drain them on a paper towel. Allow them to cool slightly and sprinkle with some powdered sugar before serving.
