Caloric content: 214 kcal per 100 grams of the dish.
Ingredients
- semolina – 100 g;
- milk – 100 g;
- drinking water – 200 g;
- egg C 1 – 1 pc;
- white sugar – 15 g;
- vanillin – 1 g;
- bread crumbs – 20 g;
- odorless vegetable oil – 10 g;
- butter – 15 g;
- fine salt – 2 g.
Preparation
1. Prepare the ingredients. It is better to take semolina of brand M (from soft wheat varieties) – then the texture of the fritters will be more delicate, and this type of semolina will cook faster than brand T. Fewer bread crumbs will be used than indicated in the recipe, but a larger amount is taken for convenience in breading. Any fat content of milk will do.
2. The main task is to boil thick, viscous semolina porridge. For this, mix water and milk in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil.
3. Add salt, sugar, and vanillin. Stir and wait for it to come to a boil again.
4. Then, while stirring the boiling liquid with a whisk, slowly add the semolina in a thin stream. And immediately reduce the heat to minimum. Without stopping the whisking, cook the semolina for about 5 minutes.
5. During cooking, it will thicken significantly. Now it needs to be cooled to 40-50 degrees so that the porridge can be handled.
6. Beat the egg with a fork.
7. Add it to the cooled porridge.
8. Carefully rub and knead the mixture with your hands to make it completely homogeneous.
9. Moisten your hands with water and start forming the fritters. You can make 6 pieces from this pliable mass.
10. Roll the fritters in bread crumbs on all sides, which are conveniently poured onto a plate with sides.
11. Place the prepared fritters on a board.
12. In a skillet, first heat the vegetable oil, then add the butter (this method of using two types of oils protects the delicate buttery structure from burning).
13. Place the semolina fritters for frying (medium heat).
14. After 4 minutes, turn the fritters over and fry for another 4 minutes.
15. To remove excess fat, transfer the items from the skillet to a paper towel.
You have made semolina fritters like in kindergarten – crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It’s so nice to take a bite and hear the crispy crust crack! You can sprinkle the fritters with powdered sugar or spread apricot jam, honey, and decorate with fresh or frozen berries. This wonderful dish made from simple ingredients will surely delight the whole family.
