Storing: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Yield: 12 fritters Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 20 minutesChocolate Fritters:2 cups flour cup cocoa powder cup granulated sugar3 tablespoons baking powder teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoons vanilla extract1 egg, cracked 1 cup milk cup melted unsalted butter or olive oilVegetable oil, for fryingMaple Glaze:2 cups powdered sugar2 tablespoons milk2 tablespoons maple syrup teaspoon maple extractPrepare the glaze: In a large bowl, stir together sugar, milk, maple syrup, and maple extract until well combined. Set aside for later. Prepare the fritters: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined. Add the vanilla, egg, milk, and butter or oil. Stir together until thoroughly combined; set aside.In a large Dutch oven or cast iron skillet, add enough oil to come 1/2 inch up the sides, and heat the oil over medium heat until it registers 350 degrees on an instant-read thermometer. (If you dont have an instant-read thermometer, to test if the oil is hot enough for frying, drop a small bit of the batter in the oil; if it immediately starts to vigorously sizzle and bubble, the oil is ready.) While the oil heats, line a wire rack with paper towels. Working in batches, either using a 3-tablespoon measure or disher number 24, gently slide the fritters into the oil. Fry until golden brown, turning the fritters over halfway through, about 4 to 6 minutes total. Adjust the heat as needed to ensure the oil temperature does not exceed 375 degrees.Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fritters to the prepared pan. Transfer the fritters to a platter or individual plates. Mix the prepared glaze and carefully dip the top half of the fritters into the glaze and serve warm.SUBSCRIBE TO FOOD52 https://f52.co/2HN7Dp8CONNECT WITH FOOD52Web: https://food52.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/food52Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Food52Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/food52Twitter: https://twitter.com/Food52TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@food52Food52 newsletter: https://f52.co/newsletterABOUT FOOD52As a one-stop shop for joyful living, Food52 connects discerning home cooks with the interests they're passionate about via award-winning food and lifestyle content across platforms.
