Cinnamon Spiced Pear Fritters Recipes

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.

PEACH-CINNAMON FRITTERS

Steps:

• In deep fat fryer or heavy saucepan, heat 3 inches oil over medium-high heat to 350°F.
• In large bowl, mix Bisquick™ mix, cold water, egg, sugar and cinnamon. Fold in peaches.
• Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls into hot oil; fry 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from oil with slotted spoon; place on paper towel-lined plate to drain. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve.

SPICED OATMEAL FRITTERS WITH COCONUT CARAMEL PEARS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the almond milk, cloves, nutmeg and 3 tsp of the cinnamon. Bring to a simmer. Tip in the oats and cook for 6 mins over a low heat, stirring constantly, until thick and creamy, like porridge. Scrape into a mixing bowl, cover, and cool for 20 mins.
• While you wait, make the caramel pears. Sprinkle the sugar evenly over a frying pan set on a low heat. Don't stir it, but wait until it starts to melt, turning dark golden here and there. When most of the sugar is melted, gently swirl to incorporate any dry patches. Stir in 25g of the coconut butter. Toss the pear slices in the remaining cinnamon, then add to the caramel and cook for 5 mins until softened. Set aside.
• Return to the oats now, beating in the eggs and ½ tsp salt to make a loose pancake-like batter. Heat oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 1 and put plates in to warm.
• Melt a little of the remaining coconut butter in a frying pan. When hot, add half-ladlefuls of the batter spaced apart and cook for 4 mins each side, or until golden brown. Remove to a plate and keep warm in the oven. Continue frying the fritters, adding more coconut butter as needed. Serve the fritters topped with a spoonful of coconut yogurt followed by the warm pears.
