Ingredients
Scale
Fritters
- 1 cup Smoked Gouda, shredded
- 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1/4 cup Milk
- 1/4 cup Green Onions, chopped
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Dipping Sauce
- 1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Mustard
Instructions
- Prepare the Fritter Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the smoked gouda, flour, eggs, and milk. Stir until well combined, ensuring there are no lumps. Add in the chopped green onions and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Make sure you have enough oil to submerge the fritters for even cooking.
- Form the Fritters: Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, carefully drop the fritter mixture into the hot oil. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry Until Golden: Fry each fritter for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.
- Make the Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together balsamic vinegar, honey, and a touch of mustard. Adjust the sweetness or tanginess to your liking by adding more honey or vinegar.
Notes
- Keep the Oil Hot: Ensure your oil is at the right temperature to achieve crispy fritters without absorbing excess oil.
- Do Not Overmix: Mix the batter just until combined to keep the fritters light and fluffy.
- Test a Fritter: Fry a small test fritter first to adjust seasoning and cooking time as needed.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh smoked gouda and green onions will yield the best flavor.
- Drain Well: Allow fritters to drain on paper towels to remove excess oil and maintain their crispiness.
