Ingredients

  • 2 cups (494 g) vanilla whole milk yogurt
  • 2 cups (260 g) self-rising flour , see note before starting
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh blueberries
  • canola oil or avocado oil, for frying

Instructions
 

  • Add 2 inches of oil to a medium saucepan or pot. Bring to medium heat (350°F/177°C)
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine yogurt and self-rising flour and mix with a spatula until you have no clumps of flour. The mixture should look like a thick batter. Fold in blueberries, making sure they are covered in batter.
  • When oil is ready, measure 1/3 cup of batter and add to the hot oil. You will need to use a spoon or small spatula to help release the batter from the cup because it is thick. Try to release the batter in a way so that it spreads out. I drew a circle pattern as I released the batter. Repeat with the remaining batter, frying in small batches so that the pot does not get overcrowded and the oil temperature does not drop too much. I do about 2 fritters at a time. Try to maintain a constant 350°F when cooking the fritters. If the oil temperature gets too low the fritters won’t fry well.
  • Fry the fritters for a few minutes, flipping halfway, until they are dark golden brown on both sides and fully cooked. Mine took around 5 minutes. Remove finished fritters from oil and place onto a wire rack to cool.
  • Allow fritters to cool slightly before serving. Fritters are best enjoyed while still warm. You can also add a glaze before serving. Store any uneaten fritters in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

  • Self-rising flour amount. There are 2 main kinds of self-rising flour sold in the US. One that is a lower protein (2 grams per 1/4 cup serving) flour and one that has a regular amount of protein (3 grams per 1/4 cup (30g) serving). The amount of protein affects how much liquid is absorbed. For this recipe, I tested it with Gold Medal self-rising flour (regular amount of protein). Please use a self-rising flour with a regular amount of protein (3 grams per 1/4 cup), or make your own self-rising flour with the recipe below.
  • Homemade self-rising flour: Whisk together 2 cup all purpose flour, 3 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt. Make sure your all purpose flour has a regular amount of protein (3 grams per 1/4 cup). Most brands in the US contain this amount but there are some brands with higher protein (4 grams per 1/4 cup) such as King Arthur Flour and Bob's Red Mill. You do not want a high protein flour for these fritters.

  • The fritters can be baked but the texture will not be the same. They will be more like bread if you bake them.
  • Optional glaze: If you want to dip or drizzle glaze on the fritters, this is the glaze recipe I used.
    • 3 cups powdered sugar
    • 6 tbsp milk
    • Combine powdered sugar and milk in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth. The glaze should be a thin enough consistency so that you can drizzle over the fritters. If your glaze is too thick, you can add a splash more of milk. If it’s too thin, you can add a little more powdered sugar.
    • Dip the surface of the fritters in the glaze or use a spoon to cover the surface of the fritters in glaze. Transfer fritters to a wire rack to let the glaze set.
    • This recipe makes enough glaze to fully cover all of the fritters. You don't need to use it all. You can also halve the recipe if you want to just drizzle a little glaze on top of each fritter.
  • Nutrition estimate is for the fritter batter only and does not include optional glaze or oil absorbed by the fritters during frying. It is very difficult to determine the amount of oil absorbed during frying so I am unable to provide that information.
