Instructions

1. Wash and dice rhubarb into ½-inch pieces. Optionally toss with 1 tablespoon sugar and let sit for 15 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Don’t overmix.
5. Fold in the diced rhubarb pieces gently until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to 350-375°F, using a thermometer to monitor temperature.
7. Using two spoons, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into hot oil, frying 3-4 fritters at a time.
8. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until deep golden brown, turning once with a slotted spoon.
9. Remove fritters and drain on paper towels or a wire rack.
10. Dust generously with powdered sugar while still warm and serve immediately.

Notes

Store cooled fritters in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day or refrigerated for up to 3 days. Freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes to restore crispiness. Serve with maple syrup, honey, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream.
