I got this recipe from my niece's son. Since we live in apple country, we have enjoyed apple fritters for many years. This rhubarb treat is a nice change for spring when apples are few and rhubarb is plentiful. —Helen Budinock, Wolcott, New York

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature, separated
  • 1/2 cup 2% milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 2 cups finely chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb, thawed and drained
  • Oil for deep-fat frying
  • Confectioners' sugar

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, 1 cup sugar and salt. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks, milk and butter. Gradually add to dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.
  2. Toss rhubarb with remaining sugar; gently stir into batter. In a small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Fold into batter.
  3. In a deep cast-iron skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls into oil. Fry a few at a time, turning with a slotted spoon until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve warm.
Rhubarb
If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb while still frozen, then thaw completely. Drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out.
