Lemon Fritters

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 350°F (175°C). Line a plate with paper towels.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently until combined (don’t overmix — a few lumps are fine).
  5. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, drop batter by tablespoons into the hot oil.
  6. Fry 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and puffed.
  7. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  8. While warm, dip or drizzle with lemon glaze, or simply dust with powdered sugar.

💡 Tips

  • Don’t overcrowd the pan — fry in batches for even cooking.
  • Add a touch of lemon extract for extra zesty flavor.
  • Serve warm — they’re best enjoyed fresh from the fryer!

Would you like me to give you a baked version (no frying, still soft and lemony) that’s perfect for a lighter treat?
