My Mother used to make these for our family nearly every New Years
celebration. With a family of 9 it took a lot of them to fill us up.
I can still smell them frying in the kitchen and taste the icing
sugar melting in my mouth.
2 beaten eggs
1/2 cup sugar
2 TBSP baking powder
3 TBSP orange juice
1/2 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
1 cup milk
2 cups coarsely chopped apples, not peeled, use firm ones
1 cup raisins, (optional)
Blend all ingredients except apples and raisins until a batter is formed. Blend fruit into the batter. Let stand for about 20 minutes or more in a refrigerator.
Deep fry at 350 o F for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Roll fritters in icing sugar while hot. Serve hot.
