  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 6 tbsp sugar
  • 3 eggs

Turning them once or twice with a slotted spoon, fry for about 3 minutes or until the fritters are a rich golden color on all sides. as they brown, transfer them to paper towels to drain.
  5. While the fritters are still warm sprinkle them lightly with powdered sugar and serve at once.
