Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Flour
Forms the structure of the batter that holds the fritter together.
Eggs
Bind the batter and help it set firm as it fries.
Baking powder
Releases gas that makes the batter rise and puff while frying.
Apples
Provide moisture, fruity flavour and bulk inside the fritter.
Milk
Adds moisture and loosens the batter to a workable consistency.
Butter
Adds richness and tenderness to the batter.

The step that matters

Mix lightly to form a heavy batter. Overmixing develops gluten in the flour, making the fritters tough and dense instead of tender. Stop stirring once the flour is just combined.

Swap the apple

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (flour, egg, milk, butter):

  1. Vanillafits better
  2. Raisinfits better
  3. Figfits better
  4. Applethe original

Fit is the average pairing score against flour, egg, milk, butter. Candidates are from the same food group and used in at least 100 recipes.
