Fig Fritters Recipe. Make fig fritters is great way to prepare figs for a simple dessert bite or for eating with a delicious scoop of ice cream. This is a great way to experience the intensified flavors and textures of a cooked fig.

Ingredients


vegetable oil 4 cups
fig 2 lbs stem removed and cut in half
buttermilk 2 cups
all-purpose flour 4 cups
semolina 1 cup
sugar 1/2 cup


Directions

  1. In a large stockpot or deep fryer heat the vegetable oil to 370 degrees.
  2. In a baking dish combine the all-purpose flour and semolina flour. Mix well.
  3. Pour the buttermilk into a large bowl.
  4. Prepare a paper-covered plate to dry the fig fritters.
  5. Take 6 fig halves and dip them in the buttermilk. Remove the figs from the buttermilk and dredge in the flour mixture.

  9. Repeat the process until all the figs have been fried. Serve immediately.
