Its hard to believe that four weeks have already gone by and tomorrow I will be back in the United States! In an effort to procrastinate packing my suitcase I am going to leave you with one last recipe from Italy, and I have definitely saved the best for last (I will be posting more once I get back home, so keep checking back). I came to Italy with only one request from my dad, "have Elda teach you how to make apple fritters". So this one is for you dad, as a thank you for funding not one, but all six of my trips to Italy!
Apple Fritter Ingredients:
4 apples, cut into very small thin slices
sugar
pinch of salt
2 cups cake flour
3 eggs
carbonated water (my aunt said you can substitute with beer...)
oil for frying
Combine apples, 1 tbsp sugar, salt and flour in a medium mixing bowl. Add eggs and stir. Add enough water to bring the mixture to a slightly liquidy batter (I couldn't tell but it looked like about 2/3 cup). Heat oil in a frying pan. Drop batter into oil using a tablespoon and cook until golden brown on all sides. Remove from oil and sprinkle with more sugar.
