Currant Fritters Recipe: Kosher For Passover Food - Jewish Diets And Cuisines
Currant fritters are a delicious and traditional Jewish dish that is often served during Passover. Passover is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the Israelites' liberation from slavery in ancient Egypt. During Passover, Jewish dietary laws require the avoidance of leavened bread, so currant fritters are made with matzo meal instead of flour. Here's a recipe for currant fritters:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup matzo meal
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup dried currants
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the matzo meal, water, vegetable oil, eggs, sugar, and salt until well combined.
2. Stir in the dried currants.
3. Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
5. Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
6. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
8. Serve the fritters warm, dusted with powdered sugar if desired.
Currant fritters are a sweet and delicious treat that are perfect for Passover or any time of year. They are easy to make and can be served as a dessert or a snack. Enjoy!
