Apple Fritters

Ingredients:
3/4 cup flour
pinch of salt
2 egg yolks
1 egg white
1 Tbsp corn oil
2/3 cup milk
1 lb cooking apples
juice of 1 lemon
sugar, for sprinkling
1/2 cup unsalted butter

Mix the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and add the egg yolks, egg white, and oil. Gradually incorporate the flour into the liquid with a wooden spoon. Gradually beat in the milk and continue beating to make a smooth batter. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 30 minutes.

Peel and core the apples, then cut them into rings about 1/4-inch thick. Spread them out on a plate and sprinkle with lemon juice and sugar.

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip the apple rings into the batter, one at a time, then drop them into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden. Transfer to a serving platter, sprinkle with more sugar, and serve with sour cream if desired.

What I did differently from the recipe:
Halved everything because I only had a few apples. By the way, the lemon juice is just to prevent the apples from turning brown as quickly after you cut them, so if you don't have any just don't freak out if your apples are brown by the time you batter them.

What I'll do differently next time:
Nothing.

Verdict:
Thumbs up. This was an easy recipe and great for breakfast. I browned mine longer than the recipe said because I wanted them to be crunchier. These were good if you like baked apples with a bit of a crust on them. I used only three apples and couldn't even eat them all - I will have leftovers for later! So if there's only one or two of you, this can be a really cheap and easy snack or breakfast.
