Instructions for Raisin Fritters without Yeast

• Soak the raisins in warm water in a bowl, covering them by a few inches. Let them sit for about half an hour.

• In another large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with sugar, cinnamon, and baking powder thoroughly. Add the lightly beaten eggs and milk and mix.

• Drain the raisins, squeeze them, and coat them in flour placed previously in a plate. Shake off the excess flour and add them to the other ingredients.

• 
  Heat a deep pan and pour in the oil. Let it heat well until it reaches a temperature of 340°F.

• Scoop about half a tablespoon of the batter and drop it into the hot oil (the fritters should be submerged in the oil, so it’s better not to use a very wide pan).

• Do not overcrowd the oil with too many fritters, to avoid cooling the oil and preventing the sweet fritters from sticking together.

• Turn the fritters often with a slotted spoon, and once they are golden, remove them and allow the oil to drain well.

• Place the fritters on paper towels to absorb the excess frying oil.

• Allow the fritters to cool before dusting with powdered sugar.

• Enjoy your treat!
