Ingredients

• 1.5 cups (diced) Rhubarb
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon (for batter) Vegetable oil
• 2 cups (for frying) Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup (for dusting) Powdered sugar (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dice the rhubarb into small 1/4-inch pieces.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold the diced rhubarb into the batter until evenly distributed.

Step 6

In a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot, heat 2 cups of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a candy thermometer for accuracy.

Step 7

Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, carefully drop dollops of batter (about 1-2 tablespoons each) into the hot oil. Fry only a few at a time to avoid overcrowding.

Step 8

Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to turn them over and remove when done.

Step 9

Place the cooked fritters on a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining batter, ensuring the oil maintains its temperature.

Step 11

Dust the fritters with powdered sugar before serving, if desired, and enjoy them warm.
