Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 2/3 cup plain yogurt
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking
- powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons
- sugar
- 1 cup grated apple (I like granny smith)
- oil for frying
- Maple
- syrup or confectioners' sugar and ground cinnamon for garnish
Instructions:
- In a bowl combine the egg with the yogurt, mix to combine and set aside.
- In another bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and sugar.
- Peel and core the apples, then grate them; you can use a food processor.
- Pour egg-yogurt mixture into the bowl with the flour mixture, add grated apples and fold all the ingredients together.
- Pour enough oil to come about 1/4-inch up a skillet and put on stove to heat.
- Dollop spoonfuls of apple batter into sizzling oil; a rubber spatula -- the one you used to fold the batter together -- will help you scrape the batter off the spoon and press down on the little latkes in the pan.
- Fry for a minute or two, until latkes are golden brown on underside; you can see from the top as they start firming up underneath.
- Flip them with two metal spatulas, and fry for another minute on the uncooked side.
- Remove to tray lined with paper towels or brown paper, to blot excess oil, and continue cooking until you've used up all the batter.
- Serve with syrup or confectioners' sugar and ground cinnamon.
Yield: about 20, 2-2 1/2 inch latkes
