    Ingredients

    1 pkg (142 g) MINI TURTLES Original Recipe
    4 cups vegetable oil
    3/4 cup + 1 tbsp all-purpose flour, divided
    1/2 tsp baking soda
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/2 cup milk
    1 tbsp butter, melted
    melted
    1 tbsp lemon juice
    2 tbsp icing sugar

    Instructions

    1

    Pour oil into large, heavy-bottomed pot and set over medium heat. Attach a candy thermometer to side of pan, ensuring it does not touch the bottom. Heat until oil reaches 375ºF.

    2

    In a medium bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup flour, baking soda and salt. Whisk in milk, butter and lemon juice just until combined.

    3

    In a small bowl, toss MINI TURTLES with remaining flour until well coated. Insert a wooden skewer into a TURTLES Mini and dip in batter; shake off excess. Carefully lower into hot oil; use another wooden skewer to release fritter into oil. Cook 4 pieces at a time, using tongs or a wooden spoon to rotate fritters, for 2 or 3 minutes or until golden brown. Adjust heat to maintain oil temperature if necessary.

    4

    Use a slotted spoon to transfer fritters to a paper towel-lined tray; let cool slightly. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
