Easy Homemade Apple Fritters

Easy Homemade Apple Fritters

1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup milk
1 egg
1 cup chopped apple

Glaze:
•2 cups powdered sugar
•1 1/2 tablespoons milk

Combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, cinnamon. Stir in milk and egg until just combined. Fold in apple. Pour oil into skillet so that it is approximately 1 1/2 deep. Heat oil on high. Oil is ready when a little dough thrown in floats to top. Carefully add dough to oil in heaping teaspoons. Cook until brown, about 2 minutes, then flip. Cook another 1-2 minutes, until both sides are browned. Transfer briefly to paper towels to absorb excess oil, then transfer to cooling rack. Make glaze by stirring milk and powdered sugar together in a small bowl. Drizzle over apple fritters. Wait approximately 3 minutes for glaze to harden, then flip fritters and drizzle glaze over the other side. Best served warm.

Deep-Fried Cheesecake-Stuffed Strawberries

Deep-Fried Cheesecake-Stuffed Strawberries

Deep-Fried Cheesecake-Stuffed Strawberries

• 
  
• 1 lb strawberries, generously hulled
• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 c. plus 1 tbsp confectioner’s sugar, plus more to dust
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 c. self-rising flour
• 6 oz. beer (one used Dogfish Head’s Tweason’ale, which already has a hint of strawberry)
• oil to fry

Combine cream cheese, 1/2 c. confectioner’s sugar and vanilla extract with a hand mixer until smooth, and pipe into hollows left from hulling the strawberries. (I use a huller that resembles a tiny melon baller with teeth! It’s great for saving the stem end of tomatoes, too.) 

Refrigerate for an hour or more. (You could also stick them in the freezer for 15-20 minutes, but don’t forget them in there!) 

In another bowl, combine self-rising flour, 1 tbsp. confectioner’s sugar and one half (6 oz.) of a can or bottle of beer, whisking together until smooth. 

Heat oil in a deep fryer, or several inches of oil in a deep pan on the stove, to 350°F. 

Coat each stuffed berry well with the beer batter before dropping into the hot oil, and cook until just lightly golden brown.

Ooey-Gooey Pull-Apart Sticky Buns

Ingredients

• 2 cans Pillsbury Grand biscuits
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cups soft margarine, or 2 sticks butter
• 1/2 cup cinnamon or to taste
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup

Directions

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom and sides of a fluted tube (Bundt) pan and set aside.
2.  Chop the nuts, if you did not buy them already chopped.
3.  Mix your sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and whisk together until mixed.
4.  Pour 1/2 of sugar cinnamon mixture into the bottom of the tube pan.
5.  Sprinkle nuts on top of sugar and cinnamon mixture in the bottom of pan (Optional). Place biscuits in the pan, overlapping each biscuit.
6.  Place the butter and corn syrup in a microwave safe bowl and heat until melted. Stir.
7.  Pour butter syrup mixture over top of the biscuits. Sprinkle the rest of the sugar cinnamon mixture over the top of the biscuits.
8. Place in 350 degree oven and bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

As soon as you take the buns out of the oven, place a plate over the top of the pan and quickly turn the whole thing over onto the plate. Make sure you are careful and not touch the pan or get any of the sugar mixture on you. It can take the hide off.

Now enjoy your hot, delicious ooey-gooey pull-apart sticky buns.

Glazed Cinnamon Scones

Recipe adapted from The Coupon Project

Scone Ingredients:
2 cups flour (I used unbleached, but you could use half whole-wheat, half unbleached)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1 egg, separated
3 Tablespoons honey
1/3 cup buttermilk (or 1/3 cup milk mixed with 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice)

Crumb Topping (can be adjusted to your liking):
1-2 Tablespoons turbinado (or sugar)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Glaze Ingredients (can be adjusted to your liking):
1 cup powdered sugar (you can make your own homemade unprocessed powered sugar)
1-3 teaspoons milk (enough to make a glaze)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.
Separate the egg white and yolk. Set the egg white aside.
In a separate bowl, mix egg yolk, honey and buttermilk (or milk/lemon juice mixture). Add to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Form dough into a ball on a floured surface. Roll or pat out to half an inch in thickness and eight inches in diameter. Cut into eight equally-sized pieces.
Transfer to a greased baking sheet.
Whisk the egg white until froth forms and brush over the tops of scones.
Mix turbinado and cinnamon together and sprinkle over egg-white-topped scones.
Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.
Mix together powdered sugar, milk and vanilla until glaze forms. Drizzle over scones after they bake.
