Feeling gloomy in the winter cold? No worries! This recipe for apple fritters is over 200 years old, but it still is just as effective at warming one up. It’s easy enough that, if you like, you can try it at home (at your own risk)!
There are only six total ingredients, and some of them are optional. If you want to give it a try, you will need:
- Flour
- Ale or cider
- Chopped apples
- Currants (optional)
- Oil for frying
- Powdered sugar (optional)
The recipe is simple enough that you could add some cinnamon or other spices without hurting anything. It’s interesting to see how stable the stuff people find tasty endures across time; Americans have been frying dough for centuries, and so have many other cultures worldwide! For more information on ingredient quantities, the history of the recipe, and a demonstration, see the video below…but be warned, this channel is unbelievably addictive!
