Rhubarb Fritters are a delightful, crispy treat featuring the tartness of rhubarb, lightly sweetened and fried to golden perfection. With a dusting of powdered sugar, these fritters are the perfect balance of tangy and sweet, making them a perfect dessert or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups rhubarb, diced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for rhubarb mixture)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the diced rhubarb and 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar. Stir well and set aside to release juices while you prepare the batter.
  2. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using).
  3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and melted butter together until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  4. Stir the rhubarb mixture into the batter, including any released juices, and gently fold it into the batter until evenly distributed.
  5. Heat 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  6. Fry the fritters for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  7. Dust the warm fritters with powdered sugar before serving.
  8. Serve immediately, and enjoy these crispy, tangy, and sweet rhubarb fritters!

Notes

  • If the rhubarb is too tart, you can add an extra tablespoon or two of sugar to the rhubarb mixture to balance the flavor.
  • For a different twist, you can add a touch of lemon zest to the batter for added freshness.
  • These fritters are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
