📋 Ingredients:
For the Fritter Bites:
- 🥛 1/2 cup milk
- 🥚 1 large egg
- 🧈 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 🍚 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 🍞 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 🌿 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 🧂 1/4 tsp salt
- 🫐 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 🛢️ Vegetable oil, for frying
For the Glaze:
- 🍚 1 cup powdered sugar
- 🥛 2-3 tbsp milk
- 🍋 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
📝 Directions:
- Prepare the Batter: 🥣 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Heat the Oil: 🛢️ In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the Fritter Bites: 🍩 Drop spoonfuls of batter (about 1 tablespoon each) into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the fritter bites in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Make the Glaze: 🍯 In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth and pourable. If the glaze is too thick, add a bit more milk until you reach the desired consistency.
- Glaze the Fritters: 🍩 Once the fritters have cooled slightly, dip them into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the glazed fritters on a wire rack to set.
