Method:
- To make the syrup; combine all the ingredients in a saucepan.
- Heat, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved, then simmer until the mixture has reduced to a light syrup.
- Discard the spices. Keep the syrup warm while you make the fritters.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in the sugar.
- Whisk the egg and milk together.
- Gradually stir in the dry mixture. Beat in the butter to make a soft dough.
- Turn the dough on to a lightly floured board and knead until it is smooth and elastic. Divide the dough into 18 even size pieces. Shape into balls, then flatten to disc shapes about 2 cm/ 3/4" thick.
- Use the floured handle of a wooden spoon to poke a hole through the centre of each fritter.
- Pour oil into a deep frying pan and heat the oil to 190 C.
- Fry the fritters in batches, taking care not to overcrowd the pan, until they are puffy and golden brown on both sides.
- Lift with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
- Dust the fritters with sugar and serve with the syrup.
