Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized pot, bring the 3 cups of milk to a gentle boil over medium heat. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching.
- Once the milk starts to boil, add the 1 cup of white rice. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer. Cook until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the milk, about 20-25 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and to prevent sticking.
- Once cooked, remove the pot from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the 2 eggs until they are well combined.
- Gradually stir in the cooked rice and mix until uniform.
- Add 2 tablespoons of rum for that additional flavor.
- Combine the 1.25 cups of sugar, 1/2 cup of flour, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in another bowl. Mix well.
- Gradually add the dry mixture into the rice and egg mixture. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter has a smooth consistency.
- In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 1 inch of oil over medium-high heat. The oil should reach about 350°F (175°C) for frying.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Each fritter should be about the size of a golf ball.
- Fry the fritters until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to turn them and ensure even cooking.
- Remove the fritters from the oil using the slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Optionally, sprinkle some additional cinnamon sugar on top of the hot fritters for extra sweetness and flavor.
- Serve the rice fritters warm. They make a delightful snack, dessert, or breakfast treat!
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, consider using whole milk or adding a splash of vanilla extract.
- To ensure even frying, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the fritter batter. You can test this by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil, and if it sizzles and rises to the surface, it's ready.
- Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to drop even portions of batter into the hot oil. This helps the fritters cook evenly.
- Drain the fritters on paper towels after frying to remove excess oil and keep them crispy.
- If the batter feels too thick, add a bit more milk until you reach the desired consistency.
Making rice fritters is a straightforward and rewarding process that results in a batch of delightful treats perfect for any occasion. With just a few basic ingredients and some simple steps, you can whip up these crispy, sweet fritters that will leave everyone asking for more. Enjoy them fresh and warm, dusted with a bit of extra cinnamon sugar, or serve them with a side of fruit compote or vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
