• Ready In: 45mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups flour
• 1⁄2 cup quick-cooking yellow corn grits
• 2 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 2 1⁄4 cups plain yogurt
• 10 ounces cooked pork loin, cut in 1/4-inch cubes
• 2 red apples, cut in 1/4-inch cubes
• vegetable oil
• honey

directions

1. In a large bowl, combine flour, grits, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Mix well. Add 2 cups of yogurt, pork, and apples. Mix well.
2. In deep fryer or 4-quart heavy saucepan, heat about one inch of oil to 350ºF. Drop some of the batter by large serving spoons (about 1/4 cup) gently into the oil. Make only several fritters at a time. Do not overcrowd pan or fritters won’t be crisp. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. To avoid splattering hot oil, use a spatula and a slotted spoon to flip the fritters. Drain on paper towels and keep warm.
3. Serve fritters with honey and a dollop of the remaining yogurt.
