Tunisian Orange Blossom Fritters (Ftaier)
These delightful Tunisian fritters, known as Ftaier, are lightly sweetened and infused with fragrant orange blossom water. They are a perfect treat for a special breakfast or a light dessert, offering a unique floral aroma and a tender texture.
Let's cook.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, orange blossom water, and egg until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully drop spoonfuls (about 1 tablespoon each) of batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. 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.
Repeat with the remaining batter. Once all fritters are cooked, dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.
