Sweet cheese fritters

on

Today I'd like to share an idea for a light and nutritious breakfast - fluffy sweet cheese fritters.

You can serve them with your favourite jam, fruit, peanut butter or chocolate spread. I served mine with a bit of whipped cream, blueberries, raspberries and a generous amount of maple syrup. The fritters are soft and combine the flavour of vanilla and cream cheese. It's a simple dish that will be a winner with both kids and adults!

You'll find the list of ingredients, method and approximate nutritional value below.

 List of ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tbsp (20 g) vanilla sugar
  • 2 tbsp (30 g) white caster sugar
  • 250 g cream cheese
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 100 g all purpose flour
  • Frying oil (1 tbsp)
  • Fruit, for serving
  • Whipped cream, for serving
  • Maple syrup, for serving

Method

  1. Pour three large eggs into a large bowl. Add 30 g white caster sugar and 1 tbsp vanilla sugar. Beat eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until they become light and fluffy, and the beaters start to leave visible marks in the batter.
  2. Add cream cheese in a few batches, combining it completely with the batter each time using a mixer at low speed.
  3. Sift 100 g all purpose flour and 1/2 tsp baking powder directly into the bowl. Fold them in with a silicone spatula, only until you can no longer see raw flour in the batter.
  4. Pour a bit of oil onto a hot pan, heat it up and spread with a paper towel. Place a heaped tablespoon of batter per fritter onto the oil and shape them into round fritters. Fry the fritters over medium low heat, covered, for around 3 minutes. Turn them over then and continue frying for 2 more minutes, until beautiful and golden on both sides. Take ready fritters out of the pan, transfer them onto a plate and cover with a piece of paper towel as you continue frying the next ones.
  5. Serve the fritters with your favourite jam, fruit, peanut butter or chocolate spread.
  6. Enjoy!
