National Fritters Day
December 2, 2024
Fritters come in various forms, from morsels dipped in flavorful batters to bits of dough stuffed or filled with delicious surprises. All of the varieties are deep-fried and served hot with dips, drips, or dustings of seasonings, sweets, or sauces. Cultures all over the world make some kind of fritter. May believe Ancient Romans first consumed fritters. They then introduced them to Europe. Most commonly filled with fruit or cheese, fritters can also be filled with savory meats, seafood, and vegetables.
Origin: The first recorded mention of fritters was in 1665, when Samuel Pepys, a British Member of Parliament, wrote in his diary that he would be enjoying some fritters before Lent.
