Lewman Apple Fritters

Here is my parent's recipe for apple fritters that we made a few weeks ago on their visit to see the babies. Loved these as a kid and still love them today!

4 Tb. butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
1 orange zest with juice squeezed in
1 tsp vanilla

mix above ingredients together in bowl.

add 1 cup chopped apple.

Sift 3 cups of flour and 2 tsp baking powder and add to wet ingredients 1 cup at a time, just until flour is encorporated. DO NOT OVERMIX. Form into tsp size balls and drop into hot vegetable oil till lightly browned. Remove fritters from oil onto paper towel lines pan to drain excess oil. Dust or roll in powdered sugar.

GRANDMA'S 30 DAY MUFFINS

2 cups boiling water
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
5 cups flour
5 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups All-Bran Cereal
2 cups sugar
1 quart buttermilk
1 Tablespoon salt
4 cups Bran Flakes cereal

Pour boiling water over All-Bran and set aside to cool. In large mixing bowl cream vegetable oil and sugar; add eggs and blend. Stir in buttermilk alternating with dry ingredients, then bran mixture and flakes. Bake in ½ full muffin tins at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Batter may be stored in airtight container for up to one month in refrigerator.

Again... This is total comfort food for me and a staple of my growing up years. (I had a migraine today so I think I'm in a comfort food kinda mood today.) I still make this all the time. Kids and adults alike love them. Since the batter lasts you can cook up a fresh batch for breakfast very easily. Slice in half while piping hot and serve with butter and an assortment of jams.
