Fritter Batter:
1 C. all-purpose flour**
1 Tsp. baking powder
1 Tsp. salt***
2 eggs
1/2 C. milk
1 Tsp. vegetable oil
1 Thin Batter:
1 C. all-purpose flour**
1 Tsp. baking powder
1/2 Tsp. salt***
1 egg
1 C. milk
1/4 C. vegetable oil

Prepare food to be fried (see suggested foods below).
Thaw frozen foods completely before frying.
Dry food completely before dipping into batter. Use Fritter Batter with chopped
or shredded foods; use Thin Batter when you want to retain
shape of food. Heat vegetable oil (2 to 3-inches) in deep-fat
fryer or kettle to 375 degrees. Beat batter ingredients in bowl with
hand beater until smooth.
To prepare fritters: Stir about 1 cup suggested food
into Fritter Batter; drop by level tablespoonfuls into hot oil
and fry until completely cooked, about 5 minutes. Drain.
Suggested foods for fritters: Chopped cooked shrimp or
ham, cubed luncheon meat, corn, chopped apple or banana,
pineapple cubes.
To deep-fry foods: Coat suggested food with flour. Dip
food into Thin Batter with tongs or fork, allowing excess
batter to drip into bowl; fry in hot oil until golden brown.
Drain.
Suggested foods for deep-frying:
Whole shrimp, scallops, oysters, fish fillets, chicken pieces (partially cooked
),
cutlets, eggplant slices, cauliflowerets, onion rings, zucchini
slices, pineapple slices, bananas (cut into fourths), apple
slices and apricot halves.
**If using self-rising flour, omit baking powder and
salt.
***If adding salted foods to the batter, omit salt.
