“Fritule is our Dalmatian traditional dessert served on Good Friday, Christmas Eve
and Shrove Tuesday. Easy to make and delicious.”
Ingredients
Method
10 tbs (heaped) self–raising flour
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 large apple, peeled and grated
1 lemon, rind only, finely grated
200g Greek yoghurt
2 tbs caster sugar, plus more
for rolling
½ cup Sailor Jerry rum
1 handful sultanas
1 tsp vanilla essence
Oil for deep frying
(sunflower oil is good)
Soak sultanas in rum for 3 hours or preferably overnight.
In a bowl mix everything well, except flour and oil.
Add flour and mix well again, add more flour if the dough is too runny. You need to
be able to grab the dough with a spoon and form little doughnuts, but it should not be
too thick.
Form doughnuts.
Heat oil in a pot and when hot, drop spoonfuls of dough in and fry, turning frequently
until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels and roll in caster sugar.
