[Obi-Wan Cannoli]

What are your favorite recipes for making them? All types are welcome, but the apple variety would be especially appreciated. :grin:

Sadly I can't say I've ever made a fritter.....a donut is as close as I have come......
I do love to make apple pie, and gallette.....Apple butter, sauce and baked apple......I also dry my own apples.....for snacks....I planning to make a pie from dried apples.....

But no fritters...... :idunno:

I don't think beignets qualify as fritters, do they? They're basically bread dough deep fried in hot oil. They may, or may not contain dried fruit, such as raisins or currants. Once removed from the hot oil, they are then sprinkled with powdered sugar. Good with coffee to which chicory has been added. C'est bon comme ça!

I don't think that I ever made fritters, but love to make fried corn meal mush with apples and a little cinnamon mixed in. Pure maple syrup on top please!

I'm having a hard time visualizing that.....

If you put corn meal mush in a loaf pan overnight, it sticks together and you can turn it out in loaf form and slice it, then fry the slices in butter or bacon grease. It's quite good with syrup on it.

I haven't seen any in the stores around here lately, but I have, in the past, bought corn meal mush in a loaf form wrapped in plastic at grocery stores, and you slice and fry it, just the same.

They sell it in tube form in the specialty foods section - they just call it Polenta.

Just be sure to read the label. The pre-made polenta in my area is always Son of Italy brand, and they make flavored polenta, as well as plain..., basil & garlic doesn't do well with maple syrup. :barf:

Fritters around here are two kinds. Deep fried like doughnuts, with fruit mixed in the batter. The other kind is mixed up and fried on a griddle like pancakes. Many a summer morning my mother fried up a stack of sweet corn fritters for breakfast. The ones fried like pancakes were about 60% corn or other vegetable with about 40% pancake batter.

I have dried my apples with a dusting of cinnamon and cloves for many years, they are great rehydrated with rum! And make a great cobbler. :idunno: :idunno:

Cloves... :hmm: I dust mine with cinnamon and sometimes sugar....but never thought about clove...... :hmm:
