Warm Fresh Fig Fritters

• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 pinch salt
• vegetable oil, for frying (about 2 cups)
• 12 large ripe figs, stems trimmed (or 16 small ripe figs)
• powdered sugar

1. In a bowl, whisk the milk and egg together; stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until the mixture is smooth.
2. Heat the oil in a heavy deep skillet or saucepan over medium heat until it is hot enough to sizzle and brown a crust of bread (about 365u0b0).
3. Using tongs, dip the figs, one at a time, into the batter, turning to thickly coat.
4. Fry 1-2 fritters at a time in the hot oil until golden all over, about 2 minutes per side.
5. Drain the fritters briefly on a double layer of paper towels; then transfer to a wire rack and sprinkle generously with powdered sugar; serve warm.
