Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Dry Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 large egg

Other

• 1 cup chopped rhubarb (about 1/2 inch pieces)
• Vegetable oil, for frying (about 1/4 inch in pan)

Instructions

1. Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and sugar. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and milk until combined, then pour into the dry ingredients. Stir until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.
2. Fold in rhubarb: Gently fold the chopped rhubarb into the batter, ensuring the fruit is evenly distributed without overmixing.
3. Heat oil and fry fritters: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering (about 350°F or 175°C). Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, flattening slightly. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Drain and serve: Transfer fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or with a side of cream or syrup.

Notes

• Use fresh rhubarb chopped into small pieces for the best texture and flavor.
• Adjust sugar amount based on desired sweetness and tartness of rhubarb.
• Be sure the oil is hot enough to prevent soggy fritters but not so hot that they burn; medium heat works best.
• Serve immediately for crispiness, as fritters tend to soften when cooled.
