Print This Recipe
INGREDIENTS 1 cup fresh cranberries, washed and drained well
3 cups flour
1-1/4 cups sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk
3 cups shortening or oil for deep-fat fryingPlace the cranberries on paper toweling and dry well. Sift together the dry ingredients and mix in the milk, a little at a time, to make a stiff dough.
Flour your hands well, pinch off a small piece of dough (about 1 teaspoon), place a cranberry in the center, and roll into a ball with the cranberry inside. The balls should be about the size of marbles.
Place the shortening or oil in a deep, heavy kettle, and heat until it registers 375 degrees on a deep-frying thermometer.
Drop the fritters into the hot fat and fry, turning, until deep golden brown on all sides. Drain on paper towels.
