English apple fritters and cream

Method

1. Peel and core the apples and slice each one into 8 segments.

2. Put the flour into a bowl, add the eggs and vanilla and whisk until well incorporated, with no lumps. The consistency of the batter needs to be thick enough to coat the apples. Stir in a dash of milk if the mixture seems too thick.

3. Add the icing sugar and a pinch of salt and whisk until smooth.

4. Heat a pan of oil for deep-frying to a medium heat (until a drop of the batter sizzles, but not too hot or the apple will not cook through before the batter browns).

5. Dip each piece of apple in the batter and fry until golden-brown.

6. Remove from the oil, toss in caster sugar and serve with double cream.
