How To Make Eastern Cape Spiced Sweet Potato And Apple Fritters:
Preparation: 20 minutesCooking time: 25 minutes
Serves 6
Ingredients:
300g sweet potato, peeled, cored and diced
150g plain flour
2 tsp cornflour
2 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
250ml milk
4 South African Pink Lady or Granny Smith apples, cored and sliced into rings
Vegetable oil, for shallow frying
2tbsp caster sugar mixed with 1/2tsp ground cinnamon, for sprinkling
Sauce:
30g peanut butter powder
*30g light muscovado sugar
30g butter
60g golden syrup
How To Make Eastern Cape Spiced Sweet Potato And Apple Fritters:
1.) Cook the sweet potato chunks in lightly salted boiling water until tender. Cool, then put them into a blender with the flour, cornflour, baking powder, salt and milk to give the consistency of thick double cream.
2.) Pour vegetable oil into a large saucepan or wok to a depth of 4-5cm. Heat, then check that it’s hot enough by adding a small cube of bread – it should sizzle and brown.
3.) Dip the apple slices in the batter and cook them in the hot oil in batches, about 2 or 3 at a time, until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper.
4.) For the sauce, put the peanut butter powder, sugar, butter and syrup into a saucepan. Heat gently, stirring until smooth. Add a little hot water to thin the consistency. Serve the fritters, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and drizzled with a little sauce.
Cook’s tip: Find peanut butter powder in health food shops and most supermarkets. Otherwise, use 60g smooth peanut butter.
