    He obviously really knows what he’s doing! I personally won’t be doing these since it will take a really long time with the three separate rises! But I like the idea of cooking the apples prior to putting them in the dough. I think I’ll try this with one of the batter dough recipes that do not include yeast but instead have baking powder or baking soda.

    Sorry but just saw you remove the dough from the bowl and then immediately drench your hand in flour and then as you moved the dough on the blanket of four covers each fold with MORE flour and put it into a ball and set it aside to rest. J o s e p h,,, you need to look upon how to work with wet doughs, there is a process in doing so in order to keep the RECIPE true to it purpose. This is not a good reflection or representation of your schooling. Please take this correction as a positive from a baking chef and not a mean blogger I am just trying to help you as a teacher in a baking school would say to his student and they are not patient or sweet and tender but to the point and looking for results, not tempers or attitudes. now work on it.

    These are donuts not fritters. He fails to mention the most important reason that pastry flour is so light: it contains baking powder which is what lightens it up (baking powder has cornstarch and baking soda in it) - why would you use yeast AND baking powder? It's redundant. Next, "lightly flour your surface" and he sprinkles a handful of flour... lol... multiple times. Why not just add extra flour to the batter/dough and your dough won't be as sticky and you'll waste less flour on your work surface? This whole recipe screams overkill for simple fritters.

  • @larrymbouche
    @larrymbouche 5 років тому +1

    Final product is proof. Original batter was extremely over wet, and needed more flour, which then proofed or raised double. Incorporate apples and raise /proof double again. The first two proofs used added flour, the third and final proof did not. That batter was so wet that to try and work it with a "light dusting of flour" would have left you with an unworkable ball of glue. The recipe as given works because the earlier wet batter expanded twice and needed to be wet originally for proper consistency to accommodate final texture without becoming too dry and tough. The Apple Fritters end up being an extremely tender confection, rather than too chewy. Enjoy.

    Looks a lot like a NYE treat we have in The Netherlands. It's called 'oliebollen'. they're exactly the same except we like to add beer into the batter and also stuff it with raisins and succade, next to the apple. Topping them with icing sugar and ofcourse, drink it with champagne ;). This looks really good too though! The bread looks really fluffy =D

    LIGHTLY FLOUR ? ? ? ? ? ? NOT! Joesph,,, Lightly is just a mere coating not layers and layers of flour. Why have a recipe of flour and then drench your dough into a bath of flour on the table?

    Can this part be done in advance and then fry it later? And if so how long can it be kept for and at what stage? Can I make it all the way to the uncooked fritters and then freeze them, for instance?

    I appreciate your detailed instructions and procedures, but I agree with Thomas. Apple fritters in the South were treats made for the children while our grandmothers were working away in the kitchens and snatched some batter , apples, and TIME to fry a treat for the children! If it had taken them two frying pans, a mixer, and 16 bowls, AND A RACK we wouldn't have gotten them. These are usually cooked by 100 year old recipes and are quick. My word, you could have made a mousse in all this time! But I'm sure they are delicious. But you need to call them something fancy.....true apple fritters are DEEP FRIED and take two shoes of a rabbit's tale to make!

    There may be a lot of steps but I have made these once and then had requests for them over and over again. This has been the best recipe I've tried for apple fritters. I don't understand why it calls for so many egg yolks though? I have replaced with whole egg and they come out great but not five eggs 2-3 whole eggs. I usually have to double this recipe because they go fast and I usually make them for bake sales at church. Also the recipe has the ingredients going into the bowl for the dough in a different layer than what he shows in the video.

    Your process looks pretty, but I have to agree with everyone else saying it's just not necessary ti work this hard for an apple fritter. There are many, many other recipes that make a superior fritter with HALF the work. More work or a more complicated process does not ALWAYS mean better result. But then, lots of Martha Stewart recipes are like that. I admire her, she's a good brand. I have some of her books and some of the recipes are really great. I must say, though, that her online recipes are faulty. And, after trying over a dozen of them, I have concluded that it is done intentionally (leaving out an ingredient or step here and there, etc). There is no way that the recipes in the books are all very good and the recipes online are consistently wrong. So, I no longer buy her brand.
    By the way, for those wanting great homemade fritter, try Chef Jon's recipe. Delicious, and way less work.

      At the donut shop I work at, we use leftover yeast donut scraps. If you make donuts out of the scraps, they are tougher and don't proof well after being rolled again. But fritters are perfect for this since it doesn't require as much rolling as donuts do.
      However, in defense of the video, this produces far more lighter and fluffier fritters. It's not as much work as you think because of the rise times. But like anything when using yeast, it's a multi hour commitment that cannot be rushed for the best results.

      As I commented to someone else, if you really want to kick the flavor up in this recipe, add a couple of teaspoons of fresh ginger, some cardamom and a very little bit of clove powder (it will enhance every flavor in the dish if you add a little, but it will overwhelm if you add too much). Also, grate a bite of both orange and lemon zest to your dough. Life changing!

And you don't have left over doug, coz you cut it in one time, don't have to repeat with the rest of the doug...???? Not hater here but you always complicated things, don't know Why? And another thing, why folding the doug like you do, just rolled the doug a little bit wider and poured all your apples in and roll the doug and then flattened the doug as you need it. One moore thing, 375% for the oil is a bit too much, best t* is 365% ...Too hot, is fritters was like burn , have you see ?

  • @lostinmyspace4910
    @lostinmyspace4910 7 місяців тому +1

    Thi is the best method to make apple fritters. Why? Because all the other recipes show a dough mix that's like pancake batter that you scoop into oil. That dough is so wet, that when you drop that batter into oil, the moisture escapes, and what happens next is the fritter then absorbs oil. making your fritter too oily. Make your fritters with a dough recipe like Thomas Joseph does and you'll be more pleased. So roll out the dough as if you're making cinnamon rolls, and put the cooked apples in a generous layer. Do not include any moisture the cooked apples produce in the pan. Leave it in the pan otherwise you're adding mositure again that would otherwise make the fritters greasy. Good luck.

I do like his sauteing the apples in butter. If you know what you are doing you can just, pretty much, take the ratios from the basic ingredients and ad lib this-and throw stuff together. Use good ingredients and it will turn out well. I plan on doing this this weekend with my grandsons.

    The final product looks great but it looks like an extremely involved recipe! And also, wouldn't pastry flour + bread flour = all purpose flour? Couldn't you just use all-purpose flour instead of the 2 different types?

    NOW- I like that this recipe uses yeast because, NOW many of the recipes I've seen on here do not. NOW- I'm not going to buy all these different types of flour because NOW, as a typical housewife, I don't have the room for all of them. Think I've made my point; the overuse of NOW is very distracting. There is a Food Network cook who lives on the plains & she was one who loved to start every sentence with NOW. They've finally broken her of the habit & it is much easier to listen to & benefit from the recipes she presents. I don't know if these cooks listen to themselves before they post their blogs but they really should.

    Lovely recipe, can't wait to try it.
    Two questions.
    Can vanilla bean paste be used instead of the vanilla bean?
    Can the dough be frozen and if so, at what point? I was thinking that maybe after the fritter was fried & cooled but before glazing or, at the raw stage, right before frying?
    Thanks again Thomas for this amazing recipe.

      @nicchauvin1096 5 років тому +1

      That's how I've seen them made. I think his method is meant as a way to "improve" them by using cooked apples rather than a more sturdy raw apple that wouldn't fall apart when mixed into a batter. By going through all of these steps, he's able to fold in the cooked apples, so they don't become apple sauce when mixed into a typical batter.

    • @starlakelsey2782
      @starlakelsey2782 5 років тому

      When I made them it was a type of thick batter and they were not deep fried but fried in some oil in a cast iron pan. That is how my grandmother made them and she was pretty darn proud of them too. She made the BEST homemade mincemeat hand pies EVER. I never seen them since the 1960s. People would come from all around our area to get her mincemeat hand pies. Great hot or cold.

    Looks good but I did not see not a "lightly dusted" surface. You put so much flour on the bench and not once did you brush it off. And you did this many times! And you did the same on your hands!! If these these fritters came out perfect at your end, how do I measure the flour for your dusting technique to match what you did? Maybe the recipe needs a correction.

    I thought part of the point of cooking the apples was to get the moisture out. If so, it doesn't follow that you would add the apple cider to it. I would instead add the cider to the dough and leave out the milk. Also there are apple fritter recipes that use baking powder and or baking soda that don't call for yeast and they are a lot quicker/easier to make. There is one that is a "Starbucks Apple Fritter Recipe" You can also make them a lot tastier by adding allspice and or ginger along with the vanilla and the cinnamon.

    • @dremy101
      @dremy101 5 років тому

      The milk added to the dough along with the eggs is what's called a "sweet" dough. That's what gives the fritters the soft texture as oppose to a chewy dough.

      @@dremy101 Oh. Thanks for the explanation. Well, I'd rather have better flavor than texture. I think the baking powder is all you need to get the fritter to rise during the frying. The milk, yeast and eggs don't do enough from a flavor standpoint for me to bother with. All they do is make the recipe more complicated to make and a lot more difficult to digest which translates to a lot worse for your health. Eggs and cow's milk are notoriously difficult to digest by themselves let alone being mixed in to a refined grain (flour) and sugar mixture.. I'd rather improve the recipe by adding spices and herbs which have health benefits and or apples/apple sauce/apple juice - the fresher the better. For binding, to replace the eggs, my go-to method is a Chia seed and water gel. Carla N. Pennington
