Lychee Fritters

Recipe sourced: artofdessert.blogspot.com

Ingredients:

3/4 cup all purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tbsp corn flour ~ i added

1/8 tsp salt

1 cup coconut milk

20 ounce can lychees in syrup, drained

1/4 cup flour for dredging

Oil for deep frying

Snow Powdered sugar / confectioners sugar for dusting

Method:

Heat oil in a skillet or deep fryer to 375F.

(Tip: Another way to test  if the oil is hot enough is by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil.  If the batter starts bubbling and rise to the surface quickly, then the oil is hot enough.  If the batter bubbles slowly and doesn't rise right away, the oil isn't hot enough).

Sift together flour, baking powder, corn flour and salt.  Mix in coconut milk; stir until combined.

In a small mixing bowl, dredge the lychees in the 1/4 cup of flour.

Dip into the batter then carefully drop into the hot oil.  Only deep fry a few at a time.

Cook until golden brown.  Drain on paper towels.

Allow to cool then dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
