Ingredients
  

For the Fritters
  • 1 cup rhubarb, chopped
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Can substitute with whole wheat flour for added fiber.
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk Can substitute with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 large egg For a vegan option, use flax or chia seed mixture instead.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • as needed Oil for frying Make sure oil is at the right temperature before frying.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
  4. Fold in the freshly chopped rhubarb until evenly distributed through the batter.
Cooking
  1. In a deep pan, heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 375°F.
  2. Using a spoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
  3. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn a gorgeous golden brown.
  4. Once cooked, transfer the fritters onto paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm for the best experience.

Notes

These fritters can be enjoyed warm right out of the pan, dusted with powdered sugar, and served with whipped cream, ice cream, honey, or maple syrup. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer storage.
