Course Appetizer
Servings 10 fritters

Ingredients

  • 6 slices rough chopped bacon, cooked
  • 2 cups Envy apples, small diced
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 egg, whisked

GLAZE

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 habanero, seeds and stem removed, cut in half

Instructions

  1. Heat a medium sized pot of canola oil to 350 degrees and heat your oven to 250 degrees to keep batches of fritters warm.

  2. In a small bowl, microwave honey and habanero for 15 seconds. Allow to steep while frying off fritters.


  3. Stir together all ingredients for fritters until well combined and no clumps

  4. Using a large spoon, drop a dollop of batter into the oil and allow to get dark golden brown on both sides. You can do a tester to make sure the batter is cooked all of the way to the center. Remove fritter to a paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil.


  5. Repeat with rest of batter and keep first batches of fritters warm by placing on a sheet tray in the warm oven.


  6. Once all fritters fried off, drizzle with spicy honey glaze and serve immediately.
