Blueberry fritters

• servings: 4

Ingredients

125g flour

2 tsp baking powder

50g sugar

1/4 tsp salt

80ml milk

1 large egg

Pinch of ground nutmeg

IOOg fresh blueberries

Vegetable oil, for frying

Icing sugar

Directions

1 In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg and nutmeg until well blended. Gradually add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring in gently with a wooden spoon until it forms a smooth, thick batter. Fold in the blueberries.

2 In a small, deep pan, heat 6cm of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat. The batter is hot enough to start cooking when a tiny blob of

batter dropped in sizzles.

3 Drop heaped tablespoons of the batter into the oil, 3-4 at a time, and fry until golden brown on one side. Turn and brown the other side, then remove to a wire rack and dust generously with icing sugar. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve hot.

Notes

Use an ice cream scoop to drop the batter into the pan
