Ingredients:

For the Fritter Batter:

• 1 tbsp butter, melted
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

For the Glaze:

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 tbsp milk

Directions:

1. Make the Batter:

In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to combine the melted butter, sugar, and eggs. Mix until the batter is smooth and creamy.

2. Combine Dry Ingredients:

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture. The batter will be thick at this stage.

3. Thin the Batter:

With the mixer on low, slowly add the milk to the batter until it reaches a thinner, more pourable consistency.

4. Fold in Blueberries:

Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter, taking care not to crush them, so they remain whole.

5. Heat the Oil:

Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to a temperature between 340-350°F (170-175°C).

6. Fry the Fritters:

Drop 1/4 cup portions of the batter into the hot oil. Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until the fritters turn golden brown. Work in batches, repeating with the remaining batter.

7. Make the Glaze:

While the fritters are frying, prepare the glaze by beating the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk together in a medium bowl. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

8. Glaze and Serve:

Once the fritters are done frying, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. While the fritters are still warm, spoon the glaze over the top, allowing it to melt into the fritters for a perfectly sweet finish.

Quick Tips:

• Oil Temperature: Keep a close eye on the oil temperature to ensure the fritters cook evenly. If the oil is too hot, the fritters may brown too quickly on the outside while remaining undercooked inside.
• Glaze Alternatives: Try experimenting with different glazes—lemon glaze or cinnamon glaze would both work wonderfully with these fritters.
