HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

02

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, granulated sugar, orange blossom water, and egg until well combined.

03

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.

04

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

05

Carefully drop spoonfuls of batter (about 1 tablespoon each) into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pot.

06

Using a slotted spoon, remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

07

Arrange the warm fritters on a serving platter and generously drizzle with honey before serving immediately.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of ground ginger or nutmeg to the dry ingredients. Ensure your oil temperature is consistent for evenly cooked fritters; use a kitchen thermometer if possible. Serve with a sprinkle of chopped pistachios for added texture and color.

Easy Substitutions

If you don't have orange blossom water, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon of orange zest. Any neutral oil like canola or sunflower oil can be used for frying. Maple syrup or agave nectar can be used in place of honey for drizzling.
