Meyer Lemon Fritters
Servings 12 fritters
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (195 grams)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (50 grams)
- 1 tablespoon Meyer lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon dry milk powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup Greek yogurt, plain (115 grams)
- 1 tablespoon Meyer lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar or as needed
Instructions
- Preheat frying oil to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the flour, sugar, lemon zest, baking powder, milk powder, and salt in a large bowl. Beat the eggs and add them to the dry ingredients along with the yogurt, lemon juice, milk, and vanilla. Combine the ingredients just until combined.
- Carefully drop about 2 tablespoons of the fritter batter into the oil and fry until deep golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and drain the excess oil on paper towels. Let cool slightly. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Dust the Meyer lemon fritters generously with powdered sugar. Serve warm.
