List of Ingredients
Serves 6 to 8
1/2 c all-purpose flour
2 eggs, separated
2 T confectioner's sugar
2 T rum
1/4 t salt
1/2 c clarified butter
1 lb cherries with stems
1/2 c vegetable oil
confectioner's sugar
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, egg yolks, 2 T confectioner's
sugar, rum and salt to form a smooth batter. Cover and let stand
1 to 2 hours.
Beat the egg whites until they are stiff and fold them into the
batter.
Heat the butter and vegetable oil in a large frying pan to 360
degrees F., then turn the heat to low.
Dip the cherries into the batter and stand them up into the hot
oil. Fry for 3 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Remove the cherries. Dip them into the confectioner's sugar and
serve.
Notes and variations: Another way to prepare cherry fritters is
to tie together the stems of 5 cherries to form a bunch. Dip the
bunch of cherries into the batter and deep fry in 3 to 4 cups of
hot (360 F.) vegetable oil.
