Time 42m

Yield 12 to 14 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 quart strawberry
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
1 teaspoon butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup flour
sugar

Steps:

Wash strawberries and dry thoroughly on paper towels; hull and quarter strawberries and place on a dry paper towel.
Whisk eggs, milk, butter, and vanilla in a bowl; add powdered sugar, salt, and baking powder and combine.
Add flour and mix to make a smooth batter; let stand at least 30 minutes.
Mix strawberries into batter.
Cover a rack with 3 layers of paper towels; heat 1 inch of oil to 375° in a deep flat-bottomed heavy pan (or follow manufacturer's instructions if using an electric fryer).
Dip a heaping tablespoon of batter carefully into hot oil; oil may foam or bubble; do not fry more than 4 fritters at a time.
Fry approximately 1 1/2 minutes on each side, turning with a slotted spoon.
Remove fritters when golden brown and place on prepared rack to drain.
Cover tops of fritters with additional paper towels.
Let cool 5 minutes and roll in granulated sugar (or can dust with powdered sugar).
Serve 3 or 4 fritters on a plate.
Fritters are best when eaten within 30 minutes; if you wait too long to eat them, the batter becomes soggy.

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 cups flour
3/4 cup fruity, light white wine (recommended: Pinot Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
2 eggs, separated
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
25 medium strawberries
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 tablespoons sugar
Confectioners' sugar

Steps:

Put the flour in a mixing bowl and make a well in the center. Pour the wine, egg yolks, vegetable oil, and salt into the well and whisk the wet ingredients together. Gradually whisk the flour into the wet ingredients to make a batter. When smooth, set aside for 20 minutes.
Rinse, drain and dry the strawberries. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer (or 2 inches of oil in a deep, heavy pot) to 350 degrees.
Whip the egg whites in a mixer fitted with a whip attachment (or using a hand mixer) until soft peaks form. With the mixer running, drizzle in the sugar and continue whipping just until stiff and glossy. When you are ready to serve, fold the egg whites into the batter until completely blended.
Working in batches to avoid crowding the pot, spear a strawberry with a fork and dip into the batter. Drop into the oil and fry until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, and serve immediately.
