Ingredients

  • 2 quarts oil for frying
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1
Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2
Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt together onto a piece of waxed paper.

Step 3
In a large bowl, beat sugar, brown sugar, and eggs with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Beat in 2 tablespoon oil. Stir flour mixture into egg mixture, alternately with milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients, until well blended. Stir in applesauce and vanilla.

Step 4
Carefully drop batter by level tablespoons, 3 or 4 at a time, into the hot oil; do not overcrowd the pan or the oil may overflow. Fry, turning once with tongs, for 3 minutes or until golden. Transfer with tongs to paper towels to drain. Cool completely before eating.

Editor’s Note:

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
