Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature, separated
  • 1/2 cup 2% milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 2 cups finely chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb, thawed and drained
  • Oil for deep-fat frying
  • Confectioners' sugar

Method

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, 1 cup sugar and salt. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks, milk and butter. Gradually add to dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.
  • Toss rhubarb with remaining sugar; gently stir into batter. In a small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Fold into batter.
