apple fritters

I'm a great fan of Anna Olson the pastry chef
so here I am trying my hands on one of her creations!
I chose this recipe as it doesn't use the oven
my oven broke down.. :(
what a perfect timing!

Anna divides her recipe into the following portions for easy making

 Preparing the apple
In a small mixing bowl

peel 2 tart apples, any type of your favorite ones and grate coarsely 

mix it with 1 tsp lemon zest + 2 Tbsp lemon juice + 3 Tbsp sugar and set aside

Preparing the sour cream base

In a big mixing bowl

mix 2/3 cups sour cream + 1/2 cup sugar + 2 egg yolks and stir

then add the above apple mixture and whisk together 

Preparing the flour

on a parchment paper or tray sift the following ingredients:
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour + 1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt + 1 tsp cinnamon + 1/4 tsp nutmeg


Preparing the batter
add the flour into the sour cream base and mix well
then add 2 1/2 Tbsp melted butter and mix well


Preparing the apple fritters
in a separate mixing bowl whisk 2 egg whites until it becomes white
then add 2 Tbsp sugar and continue whisking until the whites barely becomes soft peaks
then add this into the batter and mix well using a spatula
scoop the batter with an ice cream scoop and deep fry until golden brown
when it has cooled down sprinkle icing sugar on top of the fritters


Voila!


It was a sweet success!
Thanks Anna :)
