Use a whisk to avoid lumps. Allow it to rest for about 1 hour.
Then peel and slice the apples. Add them to the mixture and stir.
Heat a good quantity of oil in a frying pan and deep fry spoonfuls of the mixture over a high flame until light golden brown.
Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon, put them on kitchen paper to remove the excess of fat and dust with icing sugar.
Serve warm or cold.
Note
- - It's very difficult to have the real amount of the frying oil and icing sugar.
