This Wind Fritters recipe comes together in about 30 minutes and is all in one bowl that your family will love! Trust me, these fritters are not just fun to make, they’re also a hit with kids and adults alike!
Ingredients For Wind Fritters
Here’s what you will need to whip up these amazing Wind Fritters. It’s simple stuff, too, nothing fancy, I promise!
- 1 cup all-purpose flour: This is the base; it gives the fritters that nice structure.
- 1 tablespoon sugar: A hint of sweetness kicks things up a notch!
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract: For that yummy aroma and flavor.
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (or oil): Adds richness, don’t skip this step!
- 1 large egg: It binds everything together and gives it that lovely texture.
- 1 pinch of salt: Just a couple pinches, to balance the sweetness.
- 1 cup milk: Helps create that perfect batter consistency.
Let’s Get Cooking!
Now that we have our ingredients sorted, let’s dive into making these Wind Fritters. Ready? Let’s do this!
In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. It’ll look a bit like a sandcastle if you were at the beach! Stir them together until they are well combined, this takes about a minute.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla, and melted butter or oil. The goal is to make it smooth and frothy, which only takes about 2 minutes of whisking.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients until smooth. You want it to be a lovely, thick batter with no lumps. A few bumps are okay, though! We’re not trying to win any awards here.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. You’ll want about half an inch of oil in the pan for frying, kind of like how you’d fry doughnuts.
Pour small amounts of batter into the hot oil. You can use a ladle or a spoon, whatever works best for you! Fry until golden brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side. Keep an eye on them, they’ll puff up and look gorgeous!
Remove and drain on paper towels. Let the excess oil drip off. This is a key step because no one likes greasy fritters, right?
Serve warm, optionally topped with a dusting of powdered sugar or maple syrup on top. Or maybe even a chocolate sauce if you’re feeling extra!

Serving and Storage
Serving Suggestions: These fritters are great on their own but even better with assorted toppings! Try serving them with:
- Maple syrup
- Whipped cream
- Fresh fruit like strawberries or peaches
- A sprinkling of powdered sugar
Storage: If you have leftovers (which is rare!), they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 2-3 days.
Reheating Instructions: The best way to reheat them is in a skillet with a touch of oil, just until they’re warmed through. You can also pop them in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds, but they might lose a touch of that crispy goodness.
Freezer Friendly: Yes! These fritters are actually freezer-friendly. Just let them cool completely, then place them in a zip-lock bag and freeze for up to 1 month. When you’re ready to eat, simply reheat them in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, and boom, back to deliciousness!
