Ingredients
1cupself raising flouror 1cup plain flour with 1/2 teaspoon bicarb soda
½cupmilk
pinchof salt
2-3Granny Smith apples
oil for frying
icingconfectionery sugar, cinnamon
Instructions
To make batter, mix flour (and bicarb soda if using plain flour), salt and half the quantity of milk required. Using whisker, mix into thick batter and then add remaining milk. This way batter will be smooth, free of clumps and it's easier to control the thickness. Set aside.
Wash and dry the apples, then core and slice them into 1 cm (1/3 inch) thick slices.
Heat a heavy based pan with oil 1 cm deep. Dip apple slices into batter, shake the excess and fry till golden brown, approx. 2-3 min. Turn carefully and fry the other side.
When cooked, drain on the paper towel and dust liberally with icing (confectionery) sugar and cinnamon.
