Servings: 4 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 12-15 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1 Large egg
• 3/4 cup Milk
• 1/2 cup Dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup (for frying) Sunflower oil or canola oil
• 2 tablespoons (for dusting) Extra granulated sugar

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg and milk.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Gently fold in the dried cranberries.
5. Heat sunflower or canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be about 1/2 inch deep. Test the oil by dropping a tiny bit of batter; it should sizzle immediately.
6. Drop spoonfuls of batter (about 1-2 tablespoons each) into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan.
7. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
8. Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
9. While still warm, transfer the fritters to a clean plate and dust generously with extra granulated sugar.
10. Serve warm.
