Method
 

Fritters Preparation
  1. Prepare the Rhubarb: Wash and finely chop about 2 cups of fresh rhubarb stalks. Toss with ½ cup of sugar in a medium bowl and let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon each of cinnamon and nutmeg.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 beaten egg, ¾ cup of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until combined. Stir into the dry mixture gently to combine.
  4. Fold in the Rhubarb: Gently fold in the sugared rhubarb from Step 1 without overworking the batter.
  5. Heat the Oil: In a large frying pan, heat about 2 inches of oil to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Fry the Fritters: Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, frying each fritter for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  7. Drain and Glaze: Transfer cooked fritters to paper towels to drain excess oil. Prepare the glaze by mixing 1 cup of icing sugar with enough milk and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
  8. Serve Warm: Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm fritters before serving.
