Bread Recipe ⋮ Pear Fritters

Pear fritters are SOOO good with ham! Really with any meat where a little sweetness is a good thing. This would be good with sausages in the morning, as well! Mmmmmm...

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pear - peeled, cored and diced
• ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ⅓ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons milk
• oil for deep frying

Cooking Directions

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the pears until caramelized; set aside to cool.
2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt and pepper; form a well in the center. In a small, separate bowl beat the egg with the milk and pour into the dry ingredients; mix well.
3. Gently fold pears into the batter.
4. Heat deep fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Drop batter by rounded spoonfuls into hot oil, and fry until golden brown. Drain briefly on paper towels. Serve hot.
