![Brits Try To Make [MONTE CRISTO] SANDWICH for the first time!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/k1Tb0je9AEQ/mqdefault.jpg)
A couple of points that might help for the next try:
1) use a cast Iron skillet. Trust me on this, they just come out better & crisper on the outside.
2) don't cook so many at a time. Start with 1 at a time until you get the hang of it because the oil cools a bit with each one placed into it.
3) try putting your heat up JUST a touch more. You want the exterior to start building a crust right after the drop in & it'll come out with a better texture.
As for making it more apple-y, try using Apple Juice cooked down (makes the flavor stronger) & add Cinnamon, nutmeg, & apple pie spice. It helps. Another trick is to mix powdered sugar with a couple tablespoons of milk (2 cups powder, maybe?) until it's well-blended and smooth. Drizzle this over your fritters after they've started to cool a moment & you'll have an extra sweet kick to it. Another option is to dust powdered sugar into them.
Great first try, & they look good! Like with any fried/baked pastry, the more you practice, the better yoi get to know what heat & such works best. But definitely use the deep nine inch cast-iron skillet. It makes all the difference.
Sounds good!!!
@stormangelus6638, very good advice! 👍
You should do a cooking channel.
Top tier advice
She bought a fryer for safety sake.
Thanks for this post. They did great didn't they? I just started baking binge a couple weeks ago. Trying a couple things a week. They have inspired me to try these. I have been reluctant to try donuts because I don't have a dutch oven. Ahhh...but I do have a cast iron skillet. Thank you for the advice. I will make these this week.
I'm so glad someone sent you an America's Test Kitchen cookbook! They are hands down the best authority on recipes, cooking techniques, ingredients, and cooking tools in America. Their motto is, "We make it 300 times so you don't have to."
I have the exact opposite opinion.
Only tried one recipe…ribs in a stock pot…and the two women were bragging how the meat fell off the bone. Which it isn’t supposed to do anyway.
Came out like Ribs Soup.
Baby H is growing up. I just start smiling when I see her interact with y'all and start trying to talk.
I love this channel but I don't follow it regularly, so I was about to mention how I love that she's talking more and getting involved more. I'm glad I saw your comment before I posted mine. She's really adorable.
So glad you're familiar with ATK and Cooks Country. They are my first go to for a tried and true recipe. They taught me how to cook.
Elena is the most adorable little girl ever!!
America's Test Kitchen is really good, coming from a classically trained chef with decades of fine experience. the show is wonderful
Americas test kitchen went down the toilet when Christopher Kimball left.
and If the H family have questions, they have a great website.
Take the apple peels, add some cinnamon, and add them to boiling water. Turn the heat to low, and let it simmer... homemade potpourri! 😊😊😊
It's not likely that there will be a lot of people who will watch live. The reason I say this is that the NFL playoff game will on during this event.
Yeah a Saturday release would workout much better ❤
@@Tee-cl6dcActually during the entire season !!
I think it is time to do an Elena compilation. She has grown so much before our eyes!
America's test kitchen is on public tv here in the US and they have a youtube channel with loads of recipes including this one. Their channel may be a rabbit hole you'd really enjoy exploring. Great work on the fritters.
I don't watch Football.... you are so much more entertaining!!!! 😊😊😊
The H s are finding out why Americans have huge kitchens in their houses😂
Fam time.. always a good time..
And "always leave the lught on in the kitchen"
This is so cute! I just noticed when Mrs. H is explaining things to the camera, you're also teaching Elana, and she's soaking it up! ❤
Best cooked in a frying pan with oil and flip once. Batter looked a little watery.
And a cast iron skillet at that.
Your liquid measurements looked large. Your last "quarter cup" looked almost double size and your "3/4 cup" (160 ml) cider was more like 2 1/3 - 3 times.
I think they measured to 1 and 3/4th by accident@@richdiddens4059
I'm agreeing with all the comments here...
The apple fritters look delicious! Great job! I love apple fritters! My grandmother used to make banana fritters. Banana fritters aren't nearly as sweet. They have no glaze, and they are a little savory. They are delicious too!
Hey y'all hope you're well! A ice cream scooper or a cookie dough scooper that has the little blade inside will help you scoop things more evenly into your fryer. Sorry I'm late to the party there was a little bit of a football game going on over here❤😁❤️😄
this looks delicious but I like to sauté the apple a bit before adding to the batter. It releases more sugar and apple flavor into the batter and the chunks of apple feel fully cooked that way.
I make these in my air fryer and use some parchment paper and they come out sinfully good.
Baby H, Alena, is so dang cute too.
I never made apple fritters before, but I'd say maybe make one big one at a time in the fryer. First time is a lesson, and you've always done great. ❤
I’m sorry you guys were just blabbing away towards the end and there’s Alana just chowing on the fritter😂🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤
Some tips for the glaze: There are no "set amounts", only approximations. Start with the powdered (confectioners) sugar, and add in a couple Tablespoons of the liquid plus 1 teaspoon of vanilla and stir. gradually stir in 1-2 Tablespoons at a time until you get the consistency that you want. If it's not thin enough, add a little more liquid. If you go too far and it gets too thin, just add a little more powdered sugar to thicken it back up.
I've said it before. Your daughter is going to be a world class chef ! I called it.
We used to have an apple orchard near us that had a restaurant that made the absolute best apple fritters. Sadly, the orchard was sold to developers and is gone as are the apple fritters. So much for urban sprawl. Corn fritters are good too if you can get really good sweet corn like we have here in Illinois.
Americas Test Kitchen has a great YT channel
Fry the fritters without the basket, and use a slotted spoon to turn them and get them out.
I love apple fritters. And now I want one.
Next time try frying it in your cast iron pan.
Another source for tried-and-true recipes are the "Better Homes and Gardens" Hardback cookbooks, especially the old ones from the 1970's. The old "Betty Crocker" cookbooks are good too.
I have my mother's Betty Crocker Cookbook she got as a bride in the 1950's. She taught me how to cook out of that one. It is falling apart now so I got one of the "reproduction" ones. Just so nostalgic to look through it.
You will get better results doing them one at a time in a small fryer like that one.
Tip: Crack your eggs on a flat surface and you are less likely to eggshells in your food
Baby H is so smart. I love how she gets involved and takes an interest in cooking. Soon she will have her own show.✌️
Don't use Imperial volume measurements in American recipes as they are different. Imperial pints are 20 oz while American pints are 16 oz. also imperial spoon measurements are larger. My Mum was from the East End and had separate measuring cups and spoons for using cookbooks from the U.K. or the U.S.A..
As others have mentioned, a cast-iron skillet does a better job ... but I certainly wouldn't throw those away ... yummy!!
Made the Apple Fritters.
4 Winchell's donuts. Made the Apple pieces much smaller, And added more cinnamon..
Apple fritters ... mmmmm ... I truly love them.
I'm going to take a nap right now (tired -- recovering from pneumonia), so I will play this on loop while I snooze to make sure I have the sweetest possible dreams.
Kudos to you! I can't imagine trying to make apple fritters at home.
You guys finally taking some of my advice??
I *love* apple fritters! Yum! ^_^
Just my two cents, that the batter looked a bit too wet. Try adding the liquid portion of the recipe slower and stop when the batter is still pretty thick, like pancake batter. And I would definitely use more apples. Essentially, it's deep frying a fruit pancake with more fruit than batter...
They looked good. I’m not a glaze person, so I probably would have tossed them in cinnamon-sugar while they were warm
That looked like way more than 3/4 cup of cider. The glaze looked like it had too much too. Maybe check your measurements. Bet they tasted great though!
Fritters take a bit of practice to get right. The fritter dough looked very thin - It should be more of a sticky bread dough kind of consistency. When it is that type of consistency, when you put it in the oil, you will have to spread it out a bit to flatten the fritter. I also like to sauté my apples w a bit of sugar and cinnamon (allow to cool) before adding to batter. Good job on your first attempt - they looked good. When Alana pointed out the flour in the bowl I died laughing - she will be making her own videos soon enough!
That fryer & basket will also work really well for the Monte Cristo’s. (Put a toothpick or two in the sandwich first though) 🤤
There was a part missing from your apple peeler when you were peeling. It seemed there should have been a spacer on the opposite side from the screw. The apple should have seated on that part. The cutter seemed to have been set too deep. There should be an adjustment to move the cut outboard some small amount.
The basket on your fryer was catchimg and cooking your batter into the mesh. This caused the sticking problem. Don't use the basket. Do use tongs of some sort. Absolutely add cinnamon to taste. Add cider to taste. Sometimes, a whisper of salt can improve the sweet.
Your batter seemed thin. Be stingy when adding liquids. Your apple dice seemed small to my experience. Try for a half inch dice or better, whatever Cook's Country suggests. I have a couple of their books here at home and I use them.
I can see Mrs.H feeling her inner Wednesday
Great video as usual. You have inspired me to make these. I've started a baking kick the past couple weeks and on my to make list is donuts. I think I'm going to start with these as I love apple fritters. I also read through the comments here and got some great tips. You guys rock!!
Use lard in the fryer and a little more/deeper. Maybe a little hotter. Recipes are suggestions. If you want more cinnamon, go for it.
use your cast iron skillet next time.
If you crack an egg on a flat surface like a countertop, it can be easier to avoid getting tiny shell bits into your egg. That’s how I do it, anyway. 😊
You could have used your iron skillet. Your deep fryer was so deep that the batter continued on through the basket. In a skillet it would have hit bottom and retained a more manageable shape. Just would have had to flip them once
watching you both break eggs hurts my soul. using the edge of something risks breaking pieces of shell off into the egg and ending up with bits of shell where they shouldn't be. crack your eggs on a flat surface. it's the right way to do it.
They are popular in Canada as well. It's my goto "donut" at a donut shop called Tim Hortons.
It's possible that you added too much to the oil and it dropped the temperature too much. That was my guess. Since it is small, maybe 2 instead of 3
Apple Fritter rating: 7/10
Cuteness rating: 10/10
Maybe a little thicker batter? I dust it with powdered sugar when it is hot out of the fryer, it has a glazing effect.
It looks like the batter is a little too thin
I Dont know anyone trying a new project is fully prepaired for it but practice makes perfect and yours did look pretty good
I do these with hard apple cider, apples, flour a bit of cinnamon and just a small amount of sugar. It's a recipe from Colonial America.
I would just dip the fritters into the glaze instead of drizzle ontop, but I'm a fatty lol
It could be that the skin of the Apple could have some wax on the outside or a waxy type of surface. I had a peeler and it did a great job on potatoes because of the rough surface but apples were harder to do
If you want to use the deep fryer, have the basket down before you put the thicker batter in. That way the batter will not stick to the basket.
To me the uglier the fritter the better. I like them to have all kinds of bumps and crannies.
As along as there are actual apples in it, then the appearance isn't important. These are found at doughnut shops and you can't find an apple in most of them anymore.
If the slicer/corer doesn’t get all the peel off, you can use a pairing knife to clean off the unwanted peel
Might have better results not using the basket in the fryer. Just drop in the oil .
In both parts of the recipe, the fritters and the glaze, it looked like too much liquid. I'd definitely either beef up the flour mixture or reduce the amount of cider, same with powdered sugar to cider. They looked (and sounded - I like a crunch) wonderful.
Apple fritters are absolutely one of my favorites!!!
I love apple 🍎 fritters doughnuts 🍩 ❤😊!
So , given the size of your fryer: I’d say fry things one at a time instead of trying to do more than one at once.
Is that men in hats I hear playing in the background ?
Just remember, for baking, frying, or cooking, harder apples like granny Smith are best. Softer apples like gala and honey crisp are best for juices.
What you did wrong with this recipe. Apples need cubed smaller. I think you used wrong measuring cups. The measure cup for liquid and dry ingredients are different! Batter needed to be much thicker. Also when frying should only use enough oil to fry on one side at a time that way you can control how much batter spreads and that it stays flatter. About 2-3 inches of oil probably would have been enough. They don't do well in a fry basket. Hope this helps.
Thank up for the tips.
They look great and I bet they taste even better. They are definitely a bit overcooked, they shouldn't be crunchy. Next time do them in a frying pan and reduce the amount of liquid used, the batter looked a bit runny.
I thought that looked like a lot of cider. :)
Let her turn the handle and see how it works.
She bought a fryer for safety sake. She doesn't want to fry with a2 year old, and I don't blame her
It's best if you don't use the frier basket so the batter can spread out a bit more. 😉
dont worry about making them flat. not a thing with fritters
I would have added about a tablespoon of extra flour batter was to soupy
In the video, it sounds like Mrs. H says "add 3/4 cup of apple cider", but the amount in the measuring cup appears to be much more than that amount. That makes the batter much too thin to drop properly into the hot oil.
I think there was too much cider as the dough looked more like batter
Lovely go at it. Thicker glaze I think you needed. Baby H is too cute 🥰 for word’s. 👍
Hard cider would probably work great, though. It'd add to apple taste, and the carbonation would make the batter lighter and fluffier.
Hard Cider?
Don't Think I've Ever Seen Anybody Add Alcohol When Making Apple Fritters
(To Any UK Users, Hard Cider=Alcoholic Version Of Apple Cider)
I think there was a touch too much cider added to both the fritter and the glaze
I prefer the thinner apple fritters. The edges are a little crispier with the glaze.
I love making out Alana's words, she's getting quite the vocabulary!! 🥰🥰🥰
Americas Test Kitchen is a great resource
Kudos to the persons who sent them to cookbooks! They'll have years of good recipes to try.
You can do them in a cast iron pan but a Dutch oven is worth the investment
Try cutting back on the liquids for the batter and glaze to make it thicker. You can always add more of the liquids if needed but, you can't remove it if it is already mixed in.
But you can add powdered sugar.
Perhaps try homemade applebutter?
Perhaps try homemade applebutter?
Yup. I saw the notification and thought "Oh,.. that is during the NFC Championship Game. I hope they don't get disheartened by the viewership." Also thought you were more gutsy than me cooking live on a stream. or is this normal video drop?
Normal video drop ❣️
I'll take taste over appearance every time lol.
Too much apple cider made it watery
I did Apple fitters for.
donuts.
America's test kitchen is the pinnacle of great recipes... this will be yummy.
Elana is so cute 🥰 little cool in training.
cook country is a very good cookbook.
Southern Maid donuts here in Louisiana makes great apple fritters.
cook them like stove top biscuits 1 large spoon of lard put your batter in with spoon and flip when golden brown your welcome. When I was a boy bout a million years ago, that's how we did it on a wood burning stove no less.
To hard, should not crunch
Hey. They look good to me! I had an apple fritter for breakfast! Haha
That fritter ate them apples whole and didn't even spit out the seeds! 😂
More flour and less cider.
You can adjust the depth of the peeler with with a screwdriver.
its better if you cook the apples first in cinnamon and butter then add to mix Cheers from Canada
