A delightful twist on traditional fritters, these golden rice fritters are infused with lemon zest and served with a dusting of powdered sugar and a side of jam.
Combine the cooked rice, eggs, sultanas, raisins, flour, and lemon zest in a mixing bowl until well blended.
Ensure the batter is not too runny; it should hold together when scooped.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter.
Use a non-stick pan to prevent sticking and make flipping easier.
Scoop tablespoons of the batter into the pan and fry until golden brown on one side, then flip and cook the other side.
Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on absorbent paper to drain excess oil.
Pat the fritters gently with the paper to remove as much oil as possible.
Sprinkle the fritters with powdered sugar and serve with a side of jam.
Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
