1

Prep the Figs

Gently wash 10 fresh figs and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Remove the stems from the figs and cut them into thin slices. Set aside.

2

Make the Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually whisk in 3/4 cup of milk until the batter is smooth and lump-free.

3

Heat the Oil

Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or pot, filling it about 2 inches deep. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature.

4

Dip and Fry

Dip the fig slices into the batter, making sure they are fully coated, and carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and crispy.

5

Drain and Enjoy

Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the fried fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Allow them to cool for a minute, then serve the Fragile Fig Fritters warm. Sprinkle some powdered sugar on top, if desired.
