Ingredients
Fritters
2eggs
1Tbspsugar
1tspvanilla extract
½cupflour
2tspBaking Powder
1 ½tspchai spice mix(see recipe below)
2large dessert apples, peeled, cored and very finely chopped (pieces about the size of green peas usually work well)
A little raw sugar and cinnamon to coat
Chai Spice Mix
1Tbspground gingerUse more or less, depending on your taste
1Tbspground cinnamon
2tspground cardamom
2tspground allspice
2tspground cloves
Instructions
Whisk the eggs, vanilla and sugar together then add the flour, baking powder and Chai Spice Mix and mix well.
Add the chopped apple and mix thoroughly.
In a heavy-based frying pan, heat a small amount of cooking oil to cover the base and add a knob of butter.
When the oil and butter mix has heated through, add tablespoons of the fritter mix and cook over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes each side until nicely browned. Don’t be tempted to have the heat too high or the apples will still be very crunchy when the rest of the mix is cooked. Depending on the type of apples you have, the pieces should be firm to soft when the fritters have taken on a nice brown colour.
Drain the fritters on paper towels, and then quickly roll each one in sugar
