hello there.
i was watching tv last night, and saw Surreal Gourmet. and last night's episode, Bob Blumer (the chef and the host of the show) made this Apple Fritter.
what the heck is apple fritter?
according to
wikipedia:
A
fritter is any kind of food coated in
batter and
deep fried. Although very similar to a
doughnut it differs in the fact that it requires some base ingredient beyond the dough it is cooked with.
so.. i think it's apel goreng in indonesian.. hahha :P
uhm so anyway..
since it's simple, i decided to try to make it myself. :D
here's the recipe. you can also find it

Bob Blumer's Version of Apple Fritter
Ingredients• 3 apples
• 1 lemon
• 1 cup flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2/3 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Maple syrup
Directions1. Peel apples, then cut horizontally into 1/4-inch thick round slices. Use a paring knife or a round cookie cutter to press out the center, creating an apple ring with an exterior that is approximately 1/4-inch in thickness (i.e., like an onion ring). Drizzle with lemon juice to preserve colour.
2. In a medium bowl, add flower, sugar, baking powder and salt.
3. In a second medium bowl, add milk, one egg yolk and butter.
4. In a third medium bowl, add 2 egg whites and beat until peaks are stiff.
5. Whisk contents of bowl #1 into bowl #2 until smooth. Gently fold in the egg whites.
6. Pour oil into a medium, pot until it is 2 inches deep. Heat oil until it reaches 350°F.
7. Dip apple rings into batter, then fry for approximately 3 minutes or until golden brown. Turn once.
8. Serve in an onion ring basket with syrup.
i only made half of the recipe, and i added cinnamon on that recipe. so it has a sweet smell :D
well, mine doesn't look as good as bob blumer's.. and i dont have round cookie cutter, so i just cut the apples the way i want. and also i dont have maple syrup, so i just add white sugar on top of it.
but hey it tastes pretty good :P
my version :P
