Cinnamon Fritters Recipes

CINNAMON FRITTERS

Steps:

• Mix sugar and cinnamon in shallow bowl. Set aside. Combine 3/4 cup water, butter and salt in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until butter melts. Increase heat and bring to boil. Add flour all at once and stir with wooden spoon to blend. Stir over medium heat until dough forms a ball in center of pan, about 1 minute. Transfer dough to bowl. Using electric mixer, beat dough until slightly cool, about 15 seconds. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating until blended after each addition.
• Heat vegetable oil in heavy large deep saucepan to 370°F. Working in batches, carefully drop mounded 1/2 teaspoonfuls of dough into hot oil and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes per batch. Using slotted spoon, transfer fritters to paper towels and drain 20 seconds. Immediately roll fritters in cinnamon sugar. Serve fritters hot; or cool up to 3 hours and serve fritters at room temperature.

LOUKOUMATHES: FRITTERS WITH HONEY AND CINNAMON

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 2 cups warm water, proof for 5 minutes. Add 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture, whisk to incorporate. Add in the milk and eggs. When fully mixed, add in the other 2 cups of flour. Batter should be thick but not solid, if necessary, thin with more water. Whisk in vanilla. Cover and let rise for about 2 hours.

MAPLE CINNAMON SPIDER WEB FRITTERS

Steps:

• Pour enough oil into a large skillet so it's about 1 inch deep. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers between 280 to 300 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add the milk, egg and 1 tablespoon of the maple syrup. Whisk the dry and wet ingredients together until smooth.
• Transfer the batter to a large pastry bag fitted with a #3 or 4 open tip. Working in batches and making a few at a time, carefully squeeze the batter into the oil in a circular pattern and then back and forth, to make a free-form spider web-like design, 3 to 4 inches in diameter. Cook until the bottoms are golden, about 2 minutes. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, turn the fritters over and cook until golden on the other side, about 1 minute more. Transfer the fritters to paper towels to drain briefly. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Brush the webs lightly with maple syrup and dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature garnished with jelly spiders or nonpareils if using.
