01 - 250 grams all-purpose flour
02 - 50 grams granulated sugar
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 - 0.5 teaspoon fine salt
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 120 millilitres whole milk
08 - 60 grams plain Greek yogurt
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
10 - 180 grams fresh rhubarb, chopped
11 - Vegetable oil, for frying

→ Glaze

12 - 120 grams powdered sugar
13 - 15–30 millilitres whole milk
14 - 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Instructions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until evenly blended.
02 - In a separate bowl, beat eggs, then incorporate milk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
03 - Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined without overmixing.
04 - Gently fold chopped rhubarb into the batter to distribute evenly.
05 - Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet to a depth of 5 centimetres and heat to 175°C.
06 - Drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, frying 2–3 at a time. Cook each side for 2–3 minutes or until golden brown.
07 - Remove fritters using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
08 - Mix powdered sugar, 15–30 millilitres of milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and pourable.
09 - Drizzle glaze over fritters while still warm and serve immediately.

# Notes:

01 - Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a tender texture.
