Pear Fritters

• 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 eggs
• 1 medium ripe pear, peeled and chopped
• Additional oil for deep-fat frying
• Sugar or confectioners' sugar

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. In a saucepan, heat the milk, oil and honey to 120u0b0-130u0b0. Add to dry ingredients; beat until moistened. Add eggs; beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in pear. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
2. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375u0b0. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls, a few at a time, into hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels. Roll in sugar while warm. Serve warm.
