I love them but rarely eat them because they are almost always fried and
have stuff in them that I can't eat. Like egg. Whole Foods sells vegan
apple fritters that are sometimes good. They are made by a local vegan
donut/bakery place. Seems that sometimes these things are good and
sometimes not. So I poked around and not only found a vegan apple fritter
recipe but one that uses whole wheat pastry flour, is baked and does not use
sugar in the dough. No, it's not low carb by any means. It uses dates for
sweetening. I actually love to use dates as a sweetener because I don't
like overly sweet foods and they provide just the right amount of sweetening
for me. Of course if you use the powdered sugar glaze there will be sugar
in these.

My vanilla beans did not arrive yet so I made a glaze using the TJ's
Tahitian vanilla extract that I already had and added a bit of cinnamon and
a pinch of salt. I also see now that I screwed up and peeled my apples!
Next time I won't because I love the peel. And I used rice milk since I
can't have almond. I also made them smaller so got 10 but will make them
smaller still next time to get 12. Mine took 13 minutes to cook. And they
are wonderful! Not greasy at all like apple fritters can sometimes be. And
Angela loves them! Here's the recipe:

http://feedyourskull.com/2013/01/05/...pple-fritters/

So I have a few questions. Do you think these could be made with some other
kind of fruit? I was thinking perhaps of making them for Angela's birthday
if she wants me to but not everyone in the family likes apples. Some prefer
peaches. Do you think it would work with those? Or would the texture be
off?

And... What other kind of fritters do you like? Do you know of any others
that can be baked and that are vegan?

I remember getting some at an all you can eat place. Might have been the
Royal Fork. I think they were savory and not sweet ones and they didn't
always have them. It was a place we went to when I was a kid and it didn't
stay in business for long. Had a Thai neighbor who made yummy corn ones.
Although not a dessert they were sweet. I'm sure she probably added sugar
as Thai food seems to use a lot of it.

Would like to make some other kind of fritters and it would be great if I
could bake them. I think I saw a recipe for zucchini ones but I didn't save
it. Must do more looking.

Maybe I dine in the wrong places but I don't see fritters on menus too
often. But they sure are good!

Find a recipe you like and vary the fruit to what you want. You can
start here

I don't think I could just vary the fruit. Did you read the recipe? For
instance, if I used cherries, the end result would likely be pink fritters.
Because you have to process part of the fruit with the dates and water to
make something akin to apple butter.

I also don't quite get the appeal of Pinterest. I find it to be clunky and
hard to follow. It's little more than a bunch of pictures and then you have
to click on those to get the recipe. A search engine seems to be the faster
way to go. I'm on Pinterest but rarely pin anything because I just don't
see the point.

So what? If they turn out good, I wouldn't worry about color. The dark brown
apple fritters pictured on the recipe didn't look very appealing to me but
they probably taste good.

Your peach idea sounds good. I agree with what sf said above too.

Thanks! Angela said she doesn't want them for her birthday so I won't be
varying them. We don't like peaches in this house but my nephew and bro do.

Screw your nephew and brother. Make what your family likes and they can take
it or leave it.

Sounds like Angela's bd is coming soon. I hope she has a nice special one.
Is this the 16th?

I took my daughter out for dinner at Outback on her 16th birthday. The
dumbass waitress assumed that I was some old guy out on a dinner date with a
hot young chick. She obviously had some personal issues along that line.

All during dinner, she was very nice to my daughter and VERY cold to me. I
finally figured out the problem with her and I mentioned that I was the dad
and she was my daughter and it was her birthday.

She immediately got all appologized for treating me like crap all through
dinner....saying that she "often sees old guys dating young girls."

I told her to get a life and not assume anything.

I could have complained to the manager and gotten a free meal but I just
left it. I don't know about my daughter, but that whole thing certainly
ruined the night for me. I haven't gone back since. I can make a better
steak dinner at home anyway for way less the price.

Yes, I must agree. I was curious about it and eventually read up on it but
as with you, I don't see the point.

The woman who initially told me about it said it was very addictive and once
signed up, I'd spend hours on it. And I did on that first day, trying to
figure out how to use it. I think I pinned a few animal pics and a few
recipes. That's about it. Never went back to it except once in a while to
look and still wasn't appealing.

The reason it is call Pinterest is that it is an on line pin board for your interests.

In other words you pin the things you want to save for later to your own boards. If you see a dish or a hair style or a garden project, etc. that you would like to investigate further, you pin it to your own board and then go back when you have the time and check it out. I find it fun to scroll down the main page and see what's up at that time or check out the categories if I'm looking for something in a particular area or a particular kind of recipe.

It's all in how you use it and what you use it for.

I joined Pinterest was to keep my browsers from crashing. I had 30+
tabs open at any one time and they were *not* happy. I save recipes
to file on my computer, with an image if one is available - but I
still have to look through text titles and probably open several
before I found one that appeals or the one I was looking for
specifically but can't remember exactly what it is called. Pins are
organized by interest in folders they call "boards" that you name
yourself. "Pin" your "interests" to "boards"- get it? Think of the
board as a folder and the image is the title of your file. I can't
imagine why anyone who actively participates in rfc wouldn't be able
to appreciate how Pinterest works. Obviously, it's not for everyone -
but I love it.

I don't use tabs. Not on purpose anyway. I prefer new windows. And I
would never have 30 open at a time. That's ridiculous! I think the most
I've had is 6 or 7.

I also have zero interest in pinning anything to boards or organizing them.
This sounds like something that would appeal to those same people who are
into scrap books. And that's not me. It's not hard to save a link and it's
not hard to make folders. I have one favorite entitled "Foods". And in it
is a folder entitled, "Recipes". If I want a saved recipe, I click on that
and then whatever subfolder it might be in. I now have one called
"Fritters". Much easier and quicker than going to Pinterest.

What difference does it make what color the fritters are? I do agree abut
Pinterest though, just doesn't do a thing for me.

It just seems like they wouldn't look attractive. Like if you put frozen
blueberries in muffins. They turn all purple and nobody wants to eat them.

I personally thought that whole subthread about pinterest was really

What is wrong with pink fritters.

Apparently from the responses here, nothing. But it just seemed that they

I saw the recipe. I'll be nice and say it "didn't appeal to me",
that's why I ignored it. "Fixing it" is a lost cause IMO, so find a
different recipe. I don't like to suggest things to you because
there's so much that someone in your family doesn't like, can't eat,
or you'll find some obscure fault with it anyway - but you can start
here http://cooktraineatrace.com/fritters/

What you said above is a great example of why I don't like to suggest
anything specific to you. Pinterest even has an internal search
engine, so you can search either your own pins or every pinner's pins
for something specific, I gave you the "every pinner" link. If you
want to use a search engine to search the net, be my guest.

You can lead a horse to water, but....

It sounds like you've missed the entire point of Pinterest. It is a
tool for people who want to save links (like recipes) they've found on
the internet for future reference and don't want to keep them in
bookmarks, on tabs or in files/folders on their computer. I use it a
lot, don't consider it clunky and don't think clicking on an image to
go straight to a recipe is a problem.

Why in the world would they not want to save them? Pretty easy to save
something then delete it later if you don't want it any more. To me it is a
lot easier just to save the links to my favorites.

You must not save very much. I have done it and saving to
bookmark/favorites is just as useful as flushing them down the toilet.
I have thousands of recipes saved on my computer, thousands more in
Pinterest and both have a search function so I can find what I am
looking for.

I like the image for and the idea of zucchini fritters, thanks! This
gives me an idea of what else to use it for. I'll bet I could even make
yellow squash fritters. Thanks, sf!

I thought the Baked Chipotle Sweet Potato & Zucchini Fritters looked
amazing. I'd probably fry them, though.

I'm not a pinterest member, but I did a search for some gluten-free
stuff as well and was quite pleased with the recipes I found. And I
like how the pictures are all laid out on one page.

You're very welcome, Doris! The new thing is called "clean eating" (I
call it back to basics) and you can search for recipes using that
search term on any search engine.

Not sure what type you were looking for, but I just pinned some
recipes this morning that you might be interested in because they are
gluten free too

Clean eating is not new! There has been a magazine of that name for years.
And back when I was reading body building magazines in the 80's and 90's,
they were all into clean eating.

Oh, I know all about clean eating. I'm a big fan of Michael Pollan,
Gary Taubes, Mark Bittman, et al. I buy their books and everything.

Those all look good. Well, except for the capers in the chicken
recipe.

I have recently found out that I have diverticulosis. My gynecologist
diagnosed it. I can get quite bloated, and have abdominal pain in the
lower left side.

Anyway, she suggested that I try going gluten-free and/or lactose
free, and see if it helped. So far, I think it has. I'm not going to
die or anything if I eat wheat, but by keeping it mainly out of my
diet the pain has pretty much disappeared. Lactose-free is a lot
easier, what with lactose-free milk and cream.

Heh. I see you were able to manage it and I bet you haven't joined
it. There are lots of squash fritter recipes on the net, if you need
one - but I bet you don't.

We used to make Apple Fritters at the donut shop I worked at. We took
some scrap yeast raised dough and chopped a bunch of apple pie filling

it, then glazed them! Lots of fat soaked up whwen frying and sugar
from the pie filling and from glazing them.

Grease and sugar! People loved them!

Yeast dough, huh? I wonder if they could have baked too... maybe
paint them with some oil before baking to mimic frying?

You should be able to sub any firm fruit like pear, banana. Peaches could
work if you get really firm ones because if you don't have firm ones it
could make them a little soggy. In that case I would partly dry out some for
the chunks in the oven or dehydrator. Pumpkin can be cooked down into a
puree and cubed for the chunks just add some pumpkin spice. You could use
carrots and add cream cheese ( if vegan?) for the puree and add spices for a
carrot cake fritter.

Thanks! I have found a pumpkin recipe. Alas we are the only ones who will
eat pumpkin too. I have a super picky family.

True, they are not on US menus except at some small number of ethnic
restaurants... whenever I visit Belize I get my fill of conch
fritters, de-lish!

Now that I know I don't have to deep fry fritters, I'm more apt to
make them... and I really need to try making zucchini fritters.

Have you ever been to Negri's in Occidental? That's where my memory is from!
