Ingredients

fig | 2 lbs | stem removed and cut in half |
buttermilk | 2 cups | |
all-purpose flour | 4 cups | |
semolina | 1 cup | |
sugar | 1/2 cup |
Directions
- In a large stockpot or deep fryer heat the vegetable oil to 370 degrees.
- In a baking dish combine the all-purpose flour and semolina flour. Mix well.
- Pour the buttermilk into a large bowl.
- Prepare a paper-covered plate to dry the fig fritters.
- Take 6 fig halves and dip them in the buttermilk. Remove the figs from the buttermilk and dredge in the flour mixture.
- Placed the flour-covered figs back into the buttermilk and then dredge in the flour mixture one more time. This will double coat your figs and give you a nice crispy exterior.
- Place the figs into the hot vegetable oil and fry for 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove the figs from the hot oil and place them onto the paper-covered plate. Sprinkle all sides of the fig fritters with sugar.
- Repeat the process until all the figs have been fried. Serve immediately.
