Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cooked long-grain rice
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated whole nutmeg
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Method

  • Place the rice in a medium bowl. Drizzle warm water over rice; mash rice with a fork until almost smooth. Stir in baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Gradually add flour and eggs to rice mixture, stirring with a whisk until well-blended.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop rice mixture by level tablespoonfuls into pan. Cook 4 minutes on each side or until golden. Remove fritters from pan with a slotted spoon. Pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
