2 cups. flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1 1/3 cups. milk
4 eggs, separated
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 cups. Bing cherries, pitted
oil for frying
sifted powdered sugar
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt,
sugar, and cinnamon. Add the milk, egg yolks, oil, and lemon juice
and beat until smooth. In a large bowl, whip the egg whites until
soft peaks form, then gently fold them into the batter. Fold in
the pitted cherries. In a deep, heavy saucepan, heat 3 inches of
oil to 375F degrees. Drop a few tablespoonfuls of the batter into
the hot oil and fry for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown. Drain
on paper towels and keep warm in a very low oven. Repeat until all
the batter is cooked. Serve at once, topped with powdered sugar.
