Directions
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar, a pinch of salt, and the rum until the batter is completely smooth and free of lumps.
-
Cover the bowl and let the batter rest at room temperature for 1 hour to allow the gluten to relax and the flavors to meld.
-
While the batter rests, wash and dry the Bing cherries thoroughly, ensuring the stems remain intact for easy handling.
-
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the clarified butter and vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches approximately 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
-
Once the oil is hot, reduce the heat to low-medium to maintain a steady temperature without burning the batter.
-
Dip each cherry individually into the rested batter, ensuring it is fully coated, then gently place it into the hot oil.
-
Carefully turn the cherries by their stems as they fry, ensuring all sides become a uniform crisp golden brown.
-
Remove the fried cherries from the oil and place them on a bed of paper towels to blot excess oil.
-
Arrange the warm fritters in a pyramid shape on a serving platter and generously sprinkle with vanilla-infused powdered sugar.
