• large, deep frying pan
• sifter
• two bowls
• electric hand mixer
• spoon
• tongs
• paper towels

• 2-3 c oil (safe for high heat)
• 1¼ c flour
• ¼ t salt
• 2 t baking powder
• 1 egg
• 2/3 c milk
• ¾ c cheddar cheese, grated

Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder. In the other bowl, beat the egg, then mix in milk. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, add cheese, and beat for 3 minutes, until smooth.

When the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of fritter mixture and fry until brown. Place cooked fritters on paper towels to soak up excess oil, then serve hot.
