Directions
-
Drain the cranberries well and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
-
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Gradually add the milk to the dry ingredients, mixing until a stiff, cohesive dough forms.
-
Lightly flour your hands to prevent sticking.
-
Pinch off a small piece of dough, approximately 1 teaspoon in size.
-
Place a single cranberry in the center of the dough piece.
-
Roll the dough around the cranberry to form a smooth ball, ensuring the fruit is completely enclosed.
-
Repeat until all dough and cranberries are used, shaping balls roughly the size of large marbles.
-
Pour the shortening or oil into a heavy kettle, filling it enough for deep frying.
-
Heat the oil until it reaches 375&# 194;°F (190ðC) on a deep-fat thermometer.
-
Carefully drop the fritters into the hot oil in small batches to avoid overcrowding.
-
Fry, turning occasionally with a slotted spoon, until the fritters are deep golden brown on all sides.
-
Remove the fried fritters from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
-
Serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar.
