Cinnamon Fritters Food

MAPLE CINNAMON SPIDER WEB FRITTERS

Steps:

• Pour enough oil into a large skillet so it's about 1 inch deep. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers between 280 to 300 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add the milk, egg and 1 tablespoon of the maple syrup. Whisk the dry and wet ingredients together until smooth.
• Transfer the batter to a large pastry bag fitted with a #3 or 4 open tip. Working in batches and making a few at a time, carefully squeeze the batter into the oil in a circular pattern and then back and forth, to make a free-form spider web-like design, 3 to 4 inches in diameter. Cook until the bottoms are golden, about 2 minutes. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, turn the fritters over and cook until golden on the other side, about 1 minute more. Transfer the fritters to paper towels to drain briefly. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Brush the webs lightly with maple syrup and dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature garnished with jelly spiders or nonpareils if using.
