Ingredients

• 2 cups rhubarb chopped into small pieces
• 0.5 cup sugar
• 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 packet yeast
• 0.25 cup sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 2 eggs beaten
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 cup butter softened
• 0 all-purpose flour for dusting
• 0 vegetable oil for frying
• 1.5 cups powdered sugar
• 0.5 cup strawberries pureed
• 2 tbsp butter melted

Instructions

1. Prepare the rhubarb filling by cooking rhubarb with sugar until it breaks down into a jammy consistency.
2. Make the yeasted dough by combining flour, yeast, sugar, milk, eggs, salt, and butter. Knead until a soft dough forms.
3. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle. Spread the rhubarb filling evenly across the dough.
4. Roll the dough into a log, slice into pieces at opposing angles. Allow the slices to proof until doubled in size.
5. Heat oil in a large pot to 350°F (175°C) and fry the fritters until golden brown and crisp.
6. Prepare the strawberry glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, strawberry puree, and melted butter. Drizzle over the cooled fritters.
