What are Fritters? A fritter is a name applied to a wide variety of fried foods. Plain fritters are deep fried cakes of chou paste or a yeast dough. Other fritters have bits of meat, seafood, vegetables or fruit coated with a batter and deep fried.
In Britain fish and chips are accompanied with a "fritter", which is a slice of potato, a pineapple ring, an apple ring or mushy peas fried in batter.
In the United States, fritters are small cakes made with a primary ingredient that is mixed with an egg and milk batter and either pan fried or deep fried. Favorite fritters are corn fritters, apple fritters and even zucchini fritters. Clam cakes and crab cakes are also a variety of fritter.
I guess my favorites are corn fritters and apple fritters.
