Making sweet fritters is maybe a bit hard but after you do it for the first time, you will want to make them again and again. Our family just loves them because they are absolutely addictive. They are traditionally eaten in our country during the Christmas time. This recipe is little different than original, I used dried cranberries and apple to increase juiciness.
Ingredients:
1 yeast cube (fresh)
1 tbsp sugar
200 ml warm water
1 kg flour
salt
packet of lemon sugar
1 vanilla sugar
cinnamon
1 tbsp rum
800 ml water
150 g dried cranberries
1 grated apple
oil
icing sugar
1. Place a cube of fresh yeast (room temperature) into cup and add sugar and warm water. Break the yeast apart using a spoon. Stir well until dissolve. Leave to rise.
2. In a big bowl put flour, salt, lemon sugar, vanilla sugar, cinnamon and stir all. Add rum, proofed yeast, water and punch down the dough using wooden spoon for 10 minutes.
3. Stir in dried cranberries and grated apple. Cover with plastic wrap and leave for 30 minutes to rise.
4. Drop tablespoons of dough into the heat oil and fry the fritters until golden. During the fry turn them over if they do not turn themselves.
5. Remove the fritules onto paper towels to dry and sprinkle with icing sugar.
