Pear fritters

I had some pears that were a little too ripe, so I went looking for a good way to use them. I LOVE this recipe! Yes, they’re fried… which means I won’t make these very often, but they are delicious!


Ingredients:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 pear – peeled, cored, and diced
2/3 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
3 tbsp milk
oil for deep frying

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the pears until caramelized, then set aside to cool.
Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Add egg and milk into the dry ingredients and mix well.
Fold the pears into the batter.
Heat oil . Drop batter by rounded teaspoonfuls into the hot oil and fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels =)
