Equipment

Ingredients
  

The Batter

  • 200 grams cream cheese (7ounces)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup self-raising flour
  • 50 grams melted butter (1.8ounces)
  • 1 lemon (zest and juice)

Extras

  • sunflower oil for deep frying
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

Making The Batter

  • Put all the ingredients for the batter (except the flour) into the mixing bowl. Beat with the hand mixer until smooth and silky. Start on low speed and gradually increase the speed.
  • Lastly, sieve the flour into the batter and fold it in with a spatula. Do not over mix.

Deep Fry

  • Heat up the oil in a large saucepan or a deep fryer if you have.
  • Once the oil is hot enough, form small balls from the batter by using a teaspoon. Carefully place it into the oil and fry for around 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Repeat until you used all of the batter. Place the fritters on paper towels to absorb the oil.
  • Finally dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy with a hot cup of tea or coffee.
