North African Orange Blossom Fritters

In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar.

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup milk, 1 tablespoon orange blossom water, and 1 large egg until well combined.

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

Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F/175°C. Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.

Carefully drop spoonfuls of batter (about 1 tablespoon each) into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Dust the warm fritters generously with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar before serving.
