If you’re looking for a scrumptious and quick-to-make snack that will delight both kids and adults, look no further than Polish racuchy with apples. These delightful apple fritters are a beloved treat in Polish cuisine, perfect for an afternoon snack or dessert. Unlike traditional racuchy, which often use yeast, this recipe skips the yeast for a faster, equally delicious result.
Ingredients:
- 2 apples
- 200 ml / 6.76 fl oz milk (just under 1 cup)
- 1 egg
- 150 g / 5.29 oz (1 cup) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- For frying: clarified butter, coconut oil, or another plant-based oil
Preparation:
1. Sift the flour into a mixing bowl. Add the vanilla sugar, regular sugar, and baking soda. Mix well to combine.
2. Add the milk and egg to the dry ingredients. Whisk until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
3. Peel the apples, then cut them into quarters. Remove the core and slice each quarter into thin, crosswise pieces. Fold the apple slices into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
4. Heat your chosen frying fat (clarified butter, coconut oil, or another oil) in a skillet over medium heat. Drop about a tablespoon of batter into the hot oil, placing three apple slices on top of each portion. Fry for approximately 1.5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
5. Serve the racuchy warm, dusted with powdered sugar, or with a side of cherry jam, as desired.
