Pancakes with Apples
Ingredients: 1/2 l milk, 2 eggs, 4 tablespoons powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 400 g white flour, 30 g lard (or 60 g butter or margarine), 1 kg apples, oil for frying, powdered sugar and cinnamon for dusting.
In a large bowl, we start by adding 1/2 liter of cold milk. This will be the liquid base of our recipe, which will bring a smooth texture and pleasant taste. Next, we add 2 whole, fresh eggs, which will enrich the mixture with protein and a touch of creaminess. We continue with 4 tablespoons of powdered sugar, which will provide the necessary sweetness, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt, which will balance the sweet taste.
To add an aromatic note, we incorporate 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, a spice that perfectly blends flavors and will transport us to delicious autumn dishes. We also add 30 grams of lard, which will enhance the texture and provide a deep flavor. We mix all these ingredients with a mixer or a whisk until we achieve a homogeneous but thicker composition.
At this point, we turn our attention to the apples. We choose fresh apples, peel them, remove the cores, and slice them thinly. These apple slices will bring a note of freshness and a pleasant contrast of acidity. We add the apple slices to the previously prepared mixture and mix well, ensuring that each apple piece is covered with the batter.
In a deep frying pan, we heat the oil, being careful not to make it too hot to avoid burning the batter. Using a spoon, we take portions of the apple batter and carefully place them in the pan to fry. It is important not to overcrowd the pan, so each piece fries evenly. We fry them on both sides until they become golden and crispy, and the enticing aroma will fill the entire kitchen.
Once they are ready, we take them out onto a paper towel to drain the excess oil. These delicious apple fritters can be served warm, sprinkled with powdered sugar or alongside a portion of sour cream or yogurt. They will surely impress any guest and will become a favorite dessert in any season! Enjoy every bite and savor the moments spent in the kitchen, transforming simple ingredients into true culinary delights.
