Anyone remember the round sweet fritters used to serve at Little Castle Hamburgers in Wichita Ks? How to make?
I worked there one summer and am thinking about setting up a stand to sell them where I live now, but I don´t remember what was in the batter. Just remember that we would pipe out the batter directly into the hot oil and I think we´d make a circle and then fill it in sort of criscrossing the batter inside the circle. And it´d be done in a minute - just sprinkle on powdered sugar and done. All the recipes I find now are made with fruits or vegetables (the ones we sold had none)and they seem to take longer to cook. These took like a minute if I remember correctly and that would be important for this kind of sale. Thanks for any help!!!!!
