Cooking Recipe Cranberry Fritters From Loren Martin
Recipe Ingredients
Directions
Place the cranberries on paper toweling and dry well. Sift together
the dry ingredients and mix in the milk, a little at a time, to make
a stiff dough. Flour your hands well, pinch off a small piece of
dough (about 1 teaspoon), place a cranberry in the center, and roll
into a ball with the cranberry inside. The balls should be about the
size of large marbles. Place the shortening or oil in a deep, heavy
kettle, and heat till it registers 375F on a deep-fat-frying
thermometer. Drop the fritters into the hot fat and fry, turning,
until deep golden brown on all sides. Drain on paper toweling. This
really works best as a two-person operation, with one shaping the
fritters and the other frying them.
