Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- About 1 cup milk
- Vegetable oil
- Syrup
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rum
- 1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick
- 1 tablespoon butter
Directions
Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Stir in sugar, then add egg, butter and just enough milk to form a soft, but not sticky, dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly until smooth. Divide dough in 8 to 12 pieces; shape each piece into a ball. Cover and let stand 30 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, shape balls into flat cakes. Using the back of a metal spoon, make a shallow indentation in the top of each cake.
Heat a deep-fat fryer two-thirds full of oil to 375 degrees F. Fry a few cakes at a time for 5 minutes or until golden brown and puffy. Drain on paper towels.
Serve fritters in individual bowls topped with syrup.
Place all ingredients in a heavy saucepan. Bring slowly to a boil, stirring frequently. Turn heat down and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes, or until mixture thickens to a syrup.
Remove cinnamon stick. For a more distinct rum flavor, you may wish to omit the rum while the syrup is cooking, then add the rum after you remove the saucepan from the heat.
