Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 0.25 tsp salt until well blended.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 1 large egg, then add 1/2 cup milk and 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter; whisk until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined — the batter should hold together but not be sticky.
  4. Step 4: Fold in 1 cup diced apple and 2 tbsp granulated sugar until evenly distributed.
  5. Step 5: Heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat to 350°F.
  6. Step 6: Drop 1/4 cup batter per fritter into the hot oil, spacing them 1 inch apart to prevent sticking.
  7. Step 7: Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. Step 8: While frying, mix 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar in a shallow dish for coating.
  9. Step 9: Roll each hot fritter in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated and serve warm.

Frequently asked questions

How long does Edmond's Fun Fritters take to make?

Total time is about 25 minutes (15 min prep + 10 min cook). Most home cooks find this fits comfortably into a busy morning; prep components the night before to save active time.

How do I store leftover Edmond's Fun Fritters?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven; egg- or grain-based items may need a splash of milk or water to refresh texture. Cold-served items (overnight oats, smoothies) keep 2–3 days in the fridge.

Can I substitute ingredients in Edmond's Fun Fritters?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Edmond's Fun Fritters for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.

What goes well with Edmond's Fun Fritters?

American breakfast like this pair well with a simple grain (rice, couscous, or crusty bread), a quick salad with acid (lemon vinaigrette, pickled onions), and a pan sauce or yogurt-based dip. Tap "Plan a meal with the AI" to get specific side suggestions.
