Breakfast Fritters Recipes

BANANA FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mash the bananas and blend in the eggs. Stir in the flour. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Drop spoonfuls (2 to 3 inches in diameter) of the batter into the hot oil. Reduce the heat to medium. When bubbles begin to appear, turn and cook the other side until golden brown. Repeat the process until all the batter is used up, keeping the cooked fritters in a warm oven. Serve them with maple syrup or honey.

APPLE FRITTERS

Steps:

• Heat a couple of inches of vegetable oil in a heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium to medium-low heat until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 340 degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a fork, then add the milk, melted butter and vanilla. Gently fold the dry and wet ingredients together until just combined (do not over-mix). Fold in the apples, adding enough to make a very chunky batter.
• Drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, 6 to 8 at a time. Fry until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve warm with sausage and bacon!

EASY ZUCCHINI FRITTERS

Steps:

• Toss zucchini and salt together in a large colander and place in sink to drain for 10 minutes.
• Put zucchini in the middle of a piece of cheesecloth; wrap cheesecloth around zucchini and squeeze to drain as much moisture from zucchini as possible.
• Mix flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic, kosher salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Stir in zucchini.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Scoop batter by the tablespoon into the hot skillet and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.

BREAKFAST FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a heavy skillet or saucepan, pour the oil to a depth of 2 inches and heat until hot.
• In a medium bowl, combine baking mix, rice, 1/3 cup sugar, 2 tsps orange zest, nutmeg and cinnamon.
• In a cup whisk the water, egg and vanilla together and add to the baking mix mixture.
• Using a fork, stir until the batter is moist and thick.
• Drop by teaspoonfuls into the hot oil and fry for 2-2 1/2 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
• Drain on paper towels.
• Combine the remaining sugar and orange zest in a shallow bowl and stir to mix.
• While the fritters are still very warm, roll them in the sugar mixture to coat.
• Serve immediately with the preserves on the side.

GREEN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Squeeze the courgettes between your hands to remove any excess moisture, or tip onto a clean tea towel and twist it to squeeze out the moisture.
• Beat the eggs in a bowl, add the broccoli, courgettes and most of the dill, and mix together. Add the flour, mix again and season.
• Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan. Put a large serving spoon of the mixture in the pan, then add 2 more spoonfuls so you have 3 fritters. Leave for 3-4 mins on a medium heat until golden brown on one side and solid enough for you to flip over, then flip over and leave to go golden on the other side. Repeat to make 3 more fritters (there is no need to add any more oil to the pan after the first batch). Scatter with the remaining dill to serve.
