Instructions

Mise En Place
Gather all measured ingredients; set out a bowl, whisk, sieve, grater, peeler, knife, pan, spatula, spoon, plate, and paper towels. · 5 min
What to look for: Ingredients are measured and tools are within reach.
Mix Batter
Whisk eggs with warm milk and salt, then sift in wheat flour, baking powder, and baking soda; mix until thick, smooth, and drop-able. · 6 min
What to look for: Batter falls slowly from the whisk in a thick ribbon.
Fold Apples
Peel, core, and grate the apples, then fold them into the batter with a spatula until the fruit is evenly coated. · 7 min
What to look for: Apple shreds are spread evenly through the thick batter.
Heat Oil
Heat sunflower oil in a frying pan over medium heat; spoon heaped tablespoons of batter into the oil without crowding. · 3 min
What to look for: Batter sizzles gently as soon as it touches the oil.
Fry First Side
Fry the racuchy for 3-4 minutes on the first side until the edges set and the underside turns deep golden. · 4 min
What to look for: Edges look set and small bubbles appear on the surface.
Fry Second Side
Turn each fritter and fry for 3-4 minutes more until puffed, golden on both sides, and cooked through in the center. · 4 min
What to look for: Both sides are evenly golden and the fritters look puffed.
Drain Batches
Drain the finished racuchy on paper towels while frying the remaining batter in batches, adding a little oil as needed. · 10 min
What to look for: Excess oil is absorbed and the fritters stay crisp at the edges.
Serve Warm
Serve the warm racuchy dusted with powdered sugar, with crisp edges, tender apple pieces, and a thick, fluffy crumb. · 2 min
What to look for: A light white layer of sugar covers the golden fritters.

Ingredient substitutions

Milk

Water: Use only if avoiding milk; the racuchy will be less rich and slightly less tender.

Baking powder

Baking soda: Use sparingly with tart apples; the lift may be weaker and the flavor more alkaline.

Baking soda

Baking powder: Use if omitting soda; the batter will taste milder but may need the full frying time.
