Yeast Fritters Recipe

active dry yeast

🥗Healthier: instant yeast

💰Cheaper: baking powder

Instant yeast can speed up the process, while baking powder offers a quicker alternative.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: bread flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients, while bread flour is often less expensive.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey is a natural sweetener, while brown sugar is often cheaper.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk reduces calories and dairy, while water is a cost-effective substitute.

Combine warm water and yeast in a bowl; let sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and nutmeg.

Add the yeast mixture, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients; mix until smooth.

Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot over medium heat until hot, about 350°F (175°C).

Scoop small portions of the dough and carefully drop them into the hot oil.

Fry the fritters until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar or alongside a dipping sauce.
