Note

This recipe originates from the Allgaeu area of Germany and reflects thrifty cooking traditions from the past.

You can use either wine or cider for the soaking liquid; cider offers a fruitier taste, while wine provides a sharper acidity.

Adjust the amount of sugar in the wine/cider mixture according to your preference for sweetness.

Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to prevent the fritters from absorbing too much fat and becoming greasy.

Serve immediately while the fritters are still warm and soft from the liquid.
