Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 tsps baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ tbsps milk
Instructions
- Batter Fusion: Whisk melted butter, sugar, and eggs into a smooth, uniform mixture, creating a rich foundational blend.
- Dry Ingredient Preparation: Sift flour, baking powder, and salt, forming a light and airy dry component ready for integration.
- Mixture Consolidation: Gently fold dry ingredients into the egg mixture, transforming the texture while maintaining a dense, cohesive batter.
- Liquid Incorporation: Stream milk into the batter, allowing the mixer to create a fluid, well-balanced consistency that moves effortlessly.
- Blueberry Integration: Carefully fold fresh blueberries into the batter, preserving their delicate structure and even distribution.
- Oil Heating: Warm culinary oil in a deep skillet or fryer to a precise 340-350°F, establishing the perfect frying environment.
- Frying Technique: Carefully drop batter portions into hot oil, enabling each fritter to develop a crisp, golden-brown exterior through strategic immersion and rotation.
- Draining Process: Remove fritters and place on absorbent paper towels, allowing excess oil to dissipate and maintain a light, crisp texture.
- Glaze Creation: Whip butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk into a smooth, glossy coating that cascades elegantly over warm fritters.
Notes
- Blueberry Protection: Gently coat blueberries in a light dusting of flour to prevent sinking and maintain even distribution throughout the fritter batter.
- Temperature Precision: Use a digital thermometer to consistently monitor oil heat, ensuring perfect golden-brown fritters without burning or undercooking.
- Batter Consistency Check: The ideal batter should flow smoothly from a spoon but still hold a slight thickness – not too runny or too dense.
- Glaze Application Tip: Drizzle warm glaze immediately after frying while fritters are still hot, allowing the sweet coating to slightly absorb and create a delectable crispy-soft texture.
