I adapted this recipe from Mount Vernon’s website…their recipe is for a more sweet carrot fritter, and I wanted something a bit more savory…no matter how you look at it, though, they’re basically carrot donuts!
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. salt
- juice of one lemon
- 1 cup cooked, mashed carrots
- vegetable oil for frying
Mix together flour, baking powder, egg, salt, lemon juice, and carrots. Heat oil to 375 degrees. Carefully drop mixture by spoonful into the hot oil and cook until golden brown, turning once. Drain, sprinkle with additional salt, and serve.
