Instructions
- In a small bowl, place the currants and rum together and let soak for a few hours or overnight.
- Place the milk, sugar, lemon and orange rinds in a small saucepan over medium heat, then stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the rice, stir and bring to a boil; lower the heat so it simmers gently, uncovered, for about 30 minutes or until rice is cooked and milk is absorbed. Cool, then place in fridge for a few hours or overnight.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff; set aside.
- Remove the rice from the fridge and add the egg yolks, currants and rum, and mix well.
- Add the flour, and once combined, gently fold in the beaten egg whites. Once evenly mixed, heat the oil until hot and drop teaspoonfuls of dough into the oil.
- Fry until golden brown, then drain on a paper towel lined plate. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes, then lightly coat in sugar.
- Serving frittelle immediately for best flavor.
Notes
- Omit the currants if you don't like them.
