Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour (or cake flour)
3 eggs (medium)
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups fresh liquid cream
1 tbsps baking powder
lemon zest
4 cups peanut oil
granulated sugar
ground cinnamon

Tools

Thermometer

Steps

Mix eggs and sugar in a bowl; you can use either a hand whisk or a fork.
Pour in the cream and mix.
Add sifted flour and baking powder.
Grate the washed and dried lemon zest directly onto the powders.
Thoroughly mix all ingredients until you obtain a smooth batter.
Pour the oil into a pan and wait for it to reach between 311 and 320°F. If you don’t have a thermometer, you can dip the tip of a long toothpick into the oil and check for bubbles forming around it.
With the help of a spoon, drop small amounts of batter into the hot oil, no more than 5-6 pieces, and let each piece take a round and golden shape. Drain well and let dry for a few minutes on absorbent paper.
Roll the still-warm fritters in a plate with sugar and cinnamon.
