By Texaschef11

Ingredients

• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 eggs, separated
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• pinch of salt
• 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 2 cups flour (I used part whole wheat)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1-1/2 cups finely diced tart apples (about 2 medium)
• Vegetable oil for frying

Preparation

Step 1

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together.

Blend buttermilk and egg yolks with flour mixture. Beat until well combined. Set aside.


Beat egg whites until stiff, then fold egg whites and chopped apple into buttermilk and flour mixture.

Heat oil in heavy pan, then drop batter by tablespoonfuls into hot oil.


Cook until golden brown, then roll over with a fork and cook the other side until golden also.


Remove from pan and roll in sugar or drizzle with orange-butter glaze. Serve hot with fresh fruit.



Enjoy.
