Recipe for 'Appelflappen', Apple Beignets

Evening all and a very Happy New Year to you all!

I thought I would tonight upload the recipe for a traditional Dutch treat for New Year's Eve, 'Appelflappen'.




It is certainly is worth a try and doesn't take very long to make.

I've just returned home from work and the first load is in the deep fat fryer as we speak. Just a moment, I'm just going to get them out and put the second load in.



For this recipe you need (for about 30):

8 big sour apples
50 grams of sugar
Cinnamon
250 grams self raising flour
A pinch of salt
2 medium eggs
250 ml of milk
(Replace half of the milk with ale if desired)
Vegetable oil
Icing sugar

Directions:

De-core the apples, peel them and slice them in fat slices.





Sprinkle a sugar and cinnamon mixture on the apple slices.




In the meantime heat the oil to about 180 Celsius.

Put the flour and salt in a bowl and put 150 ml of milk and the eggs in the middle.





Mix this with an electric mixer until a smooth batter is formed. Now mix in the rest of the milk.

One by one put the apple slices through the batter and into the hot oil for about 4 minutes till golden brown. (they may need a hand turning over)




Let them dry out on some kitchen paper.




Before serving put a dusting of icing sugar over them.






Ready to eat. ENJOY! ;)


Hope you will enjoy this recipe and a very Happy 2010 to you all!

Love,

Jo.
