Rhubarb fritters are small, crispy pancakes filled with tart rhubarb, perfect for a quick snack or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rhubarb, chopped into small pieces
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup milk (or water for a thinner batter)
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
  • Optional: powdered sugar, honey, or jam for serving

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: Whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl.
  2. Add wet: Beat the egg into the milk, then stir into the dry mix until just combined. The batter should be thick but spoonable.
  3. Fold in rhubarb: Add chopped rhubarb and stir gently.
  4. Heat the pan: Warm 2–3 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  5. Fry fritters: Drop spoonfuls of batter into the pan, flatten slightly, and cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
  6. Drain and serve: Move fritters to paper towels to drain briefly, then dust with powdered sugar or add a spoonful of rhubarb jam if you like.
