Ingredients

For the Fritters:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

For the Hazelnut Cream:

  • 1/2 cup hazelnut spread (e.g., Nutella)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

For Topping (optional):

  • Powdered sugar
  • Crushed hazelnuts
  • Melted chocolate

Instructions

1. Make the Fritter Dough:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix. The dough should be thick and sticky.

2. Prepare the Hazelnut Cream:

  1. In a small bowl, combine the hazelnut spread, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

3. Shape and Fry the Fritters:

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
  2. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out fritters.
  3. Carefully place the fritters into the hot oil, frying 2-3 at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

4. Fill the Fritters:

  1. Once the fritters have cooled slightly, use a piping bag or a small knife to fill them with the hazelnut cream. Insert the tip into the side of each fritter and pipe in a generous amount of cream.

5. Serve:

  1. Dust the fritters with powdered sugar, sprinkle with crushed hazelnuts, or drizzle with melted chocolate if desired.
  2. Serve warm and enjoy!

These heart-shaped fritters are sure to impress with their fluffy texture and rich hazelnut filling. Perfect for sharing with someone special! 💖
