Hi, professional bagel baker here, and I kept yelling at the screen "make the holes bigger!" 🤣 Your technique is fine. Just allow more room for the dough to expand into the hole during the second rise. They won't look right going into the oven, but they will bake more evenly and the hole will develop the proper size.

Hey, Becky! I made a ton of apple fritters with my grandmother when I was younger and the biggest differences that I see are: 1. We used enough oil that the fritters were floating and not touching the bottom of the pan. 2. Our fritters were much smaller, more like doughnut holes, than full-size donuts. That way, you get a lot of the crispiness in each bite. It also made us waste less. You could choose how many to eat rather than committing to such a large fritter. Other than that, it was a beautiful first attempt, and they looked delicious! The apple size looked perfect to me! Thanks for sharing! I will for sure be making these bagels soon!

Yep, if there is enough oil for them to float then more of the fritter will be able to cook. You limited the height of what could get cooked each time.

As a recovered Southerner who was raised on deep fried you name it, you need a bigger pot (think your Dutch oven), and much more oil. The fritters should float like your bagels did in the water. Also, make them smaller as others have said. Regardless, I bet they were delicious!

Black Bean Harvest Tip- Place them into a large brown paper bag, put your garden gloves on and go to town breaking them up with your hands. The Chaff will all be at the top for easy removal. When you "Winnow" outside you can use an electric fan or a hair dryer on low. You can tell how much wind you need. Makes quick work of those Beans. * Looked to me like your fritters just needed more apples. Great video!

@MeaganShapiro 8 ай бұрын

You can put the dough in a pipe bag or ziploc and pipe the fritter dough into the oil! ❤

@ilovefabricandflowers8543 8 ай бұрын

to shell your beans easily or should I say more efficiently, try this. When you pick the beans, using your thumb nail slice along the crease on the tip of the bean. What this does is make the bean casing pull back towards the stem end when it dries. This deposits the beans themselves out of the casing. If you then put these beans to dry on something that will catch the beans. I live in Australia in a very hot and dry location so I just put them in a cotton pillowcase and hang them up. To harvest all you need do is shake the beans violently to drop the beans out into the bottom of the bag. You can thank me later.

@lisablocker2753 8 ай бұрын

As far as the apple fritters I find that you have to make them smaller and flatter or even like scooped into meatball size or they will be uncooked in the center… I think the raw apples are moist enough and put off more moisture as they cook that it keeps the dough wet. Also you need deeper oil so that the fritter can float and be more surrounded by the oil ( where it can sort of float over the top a bit before turning even). I haven’t made bagels in ages but you made me want to do it again!! Yum!

@dorothymack6497 8 ай бұрын

I was going to say the same. I deep fry occasionally, and I also have a gas stove. I'm a firm believer in a deeper pot for safety sake. It's so easy to accidently 'slop' a bit of oil over the side of a shallow pan, and poof - you'd have a fire on your hands. You could use your dutch oven to deep fry in - and you could add a bit more oil that way and be safer at the same time :) Also, smaller fritters are better for getting them to cook all the way through. The end result looked yummy though! Well done for trying new skills!

Our grandmothers and mothers made jams and chutneys/pickles in boiled jars with metal lids but luckily our country produces fresh produce year round. I live in S E Queensland and can grow all year. I do get some frosts but I just cover the gardens with fine netting when they are forecast and it does the trick. We are blessed in that way. I dehydrate but we weren’t bought up with pressure canning and freeze drying. I love to watch it.

Becky, growing green beans on the arched cattle panels makes them dangle and they are not only pretty but easy to harvest. Put one butter nut squash on one side and one cucumber on the other. Just be sure to visit then frequently to get them started up the panel. After that they will do it all on their own.

Becky one of the ways I love to store potatoes is when I peel and dice potatoes, onions and peppers. I flash freeze the mixture then vacuum seal in portions. Some I mince fresh herbs into. Some I leave plain. It is definitely a time saver when we want home fries or hash or even roasting as a side for dinner. These last two years we've grown 100 lbs of potatoes each year. There is only so much potato 2 people can eat.

Hi Becky! Learning new skills can be scary sometimes, so I get it when you feel empowered by gaining new skills 🤍 Here's some tips from someone who makes fritters a lot: 1. Flour is only a binding element, so you don't need much of it! With minimum batter, you can let your main ingredient shine ✨ 2. A slurry batter creates crispier fritters. You can add water or milk or coconut milk (for extra umami) to your liking to create runnier batter. 3. Rice flour also helps for crispier fritters, but don't add too much because it will create tougher fritters! I use ratio 1:3 on rice flour to all purpose flour. 4. Baking powder is your friend, so don't be shy 5. Make sure the oil is hottt before putting in your batter. You can test by dripping your butter and if it floats instantly means your oil is ready. Good luck for your fritters journey 😁

Yay to this bagel and apple fritters menu!!! ❤ banana fritters sound so interesting. Please share that recipe. 😊 P.S. I posted my comment before hearing you ask for tips on how to make the fritter recipe better. Ok, add your cinnamon and sugar and salt to your apples and let them hang out in the fridge to marinate. Say for 15 min. You will get the apples to ooze out some juice so your dough will be thinner in the end but they’ll puff up and cook through once it hits the oil. Also Substitute buttermilk for milk - it’s more flavorful. 😊 OMG now I’m craving them and it’s almost midnight. Lol

My mother was a professional baker and one thing she instilled in me is to never cross contaminate food products by sticking your wet or food on hand product into a clean bag of product (like flour) or a bucket of food, a bowl of food, or the like. Anything on your hands can contaminate a whole product quickly that would be used for a future product. I was taught to place a small bowl of flour, water, or oil next to what I was making and take from that bowl only to not cross contaminate. It's good practice to work from a bowl and not a bag of flour or plastic container of flour (or other product that would be added into what you are working on). What product is left in the bowl can be disposed of.

I still took the rest of the pancakes to my parents with coffee on the side. And they were so pleased and ate them with smiles and complements. Bless their hearts.

We make our own roast beef! Salt pepper and garlic. Vastly superior!!! The key is cooking low and slow (we use the oven). We dry age the meat with salt for a day or two before cooking and do a good sear on the outside before cooking in the oven. Chill before slicing. You will never go back 😁

For your apple fritters .Try using your digital thermometer for oil temp . Also you can use your cookie scoop to drop your batter in the oil so they are more consistent in size .

Hey Becky! A simple trick with shelling your beans…. Put them in a pillow case and and give ‘em a few smacks with your meat mallet. The pods pop right open and the beans fall out. It’s easy to just remove the empty pods. And then just winnow the beans to remove any of the lighter chaff. This works really well if the pods are dry. If you have any that aren’t quite dry you might have to shell those ones by hand.

Hi,Becky. I agree with you that learning and mastering a new recipe, gardening technique, or animal raising challenge is very soul satisfying. You are learning to be more self sufficient each time. I am 71 years old and still enjoy the satisfaction of learning and achieving something new. I used to work in a Jewish bagel shop so I know a bit about making the things. I imagine it is a personal preference( you want the taste but not the food to fall through the hole) , but I would pull my bagel way out more when you are making the hole if you want that traditional bagel look. Make the hole atleast an inch / inch and a half across when you first formed the dough, otherwise the hole fills in as the dough rises. They did look yummy. I also am a late Comer to the Everything bagel seasoning. I'm going to try it on my Tomatoes now,too.

The fritters need to float in the oil. A cooking pot with 4 to 5 inces of oil or cheaper deep frier might be what you need. I say cheaper frier only because you said, you rarely deep fry and the inexpensive ones work just as well as the expensive ones do with less bells and whistles. Oil not deep enough is where your fritters went sideways. I used to make donuts and used to watch them make donuts at the donut shop near my school in the mornings. I learned a lot and asked questions, people like to explain things to those who are interested. Much love and many prayers. 💖💖

Love to learn new things too. Never knew that's how bagels were made. Excited about the potatoes and beans! On the frying thing...for the fritters you need a dutch oven pan with at least three inches of oil and use two tea spoons to drop the globs in with. One with the fritter batter, the other to scrape the first spoon. In between batches, make sure there aren't any little pieces of batter in the oil that burns..it will flavor the oil with a smoky flaver that isn't good for sweet things.Thank you fir showing us how to make cool things.

Baking yeasted bread has always intimidated me for some reason, but you make it look so doable. I started with your pizza dough and I keep it on hand at all times now! I'm actually getting excited to bake lots of different things this fall and winter.

Isn't her pizza dough fantastic?! I made pizza with her recipe for the first time a few months ago and my family said it's time to open a pizza restaurant ☺️ I was so surprised I blushed and thought, "thank goodness for Becky!" All her recipes I've tried have been phenomenal and I can't wait to try more!

Yeasted bread is so much easier than you think. I haven't bought bread since 2020! (I still buy bagles and such but no sliced bread.) Here are a few things to keep in mind. Don't fuss, but don't rush. You're not launching a mission to Mars. It's not rocket science. Folks have been making bread for thousands of years, you can too. But don't rush the process. Give it enough time to rise and cool and do all the things. Also, I always proof my yeast. I put it in my warm liquid with a little bit of flour or sugar and leave it alone for 5 minutes or so. If it gets good and foamy, it's active, and you're good to go. A lot of people don't do this, but I find it reassuring. Finally, your homemade bread doesn't have preservatives in it, so it will grow some colorful mold much faster than the store bought bread would. Freeze or refrigerate anything you can't eat in a few days. You got this!

The batter for the fritter needs to rise/lighten before frying. 15-20 mins is good in a house environment. The apples will release some liquid so gentle fold after a rest...then gentle scoop into oil. Possible your baking powder was old by look of batter. Better results if you use more oil AND in that Dutch oven. However, a good wok solves a lot of problems with fritters and donuts. I would fry only 2-3 max at time. Wok allows you flip gently and let fritter or donut swim. Less oily product if you cook fewer because it's all about dropping the oil temp when adding product. You don't want to drop temp so fast. You will use minimal oil in frying if you don't drop the frying temp with too much product at same time.

My mother-in-law used to shell her dried beans in the most creative way. Seems strange but it works wonderfully. Take an old pillow case. Put your dried beans in the pillow case and secure the opening by tying or using a hair band. Throw the pillow case with them in it into the dryer on a very low or no heat. The dried shells will separate from the beans and the heavier beans will then go to the bottom and can be separated easily.

Hi Becky. Bagels freeze beautifully. I slice mine in half and freeze them. When we want to eat bagels we pull them out, and through them in te toaster. Delicious.

@patbannwarth7813 8 ай бұрын

More oil in the pan for deep frying the fritters and/or doughnuts. They need to float in the oil and not touch the bottom of the pan. That way they are getting more cooking surface in the oil.

Hello, Becky right?, well, I just found your channel. I am a 60 year old woman with 7 grown children and 9 grandchildren. Your sweet channel with these wonderful easy recipes is so welcomed by me in this stage of life! I loved my life of homeschooling and homemaking but I was not the best at having a great cooking repertoire. My 20 year old son wants to learn to cook and we are going to cook the Bolognese and the oatmeal fudge bars tonight when he gets home from work. He will be getting married soon and he wants to have some cooking skills. But I absolutely love, love love your sweet channel!

Another way to use up apples is to make apple dumplings. I use the recipe from the Betty Crocker cookbook. It’s basically apples wrapped in pie dough then drizzled with a brown sugar syrup, with raisins and nuts. Perfect fall treat!

I was never a big fan of fritters. Then I tried cooking the apples to a soft stage , cooling then adding to the batter. It was great. The apples were soft and the fritters had a lovely crunch. We enjoy them when we want a simple sweet.

I so enjoy watching your vidoes, Becky! Thank you for sharing your life with us. Regarding your fritters, I wonder if your oil should have been deeper? It looks from the video like your fritters are touching the bottom of the pan; I think you'll have better luck if they float a bit.

@klcfig7105 8 ай бұрын

Maybe try pouring the batter into the oil with a wide funnel, or maybe a pastry bag & kind of swirl it into the oil like funnel cake.

I know this is an unrelated comment, but have you tried to grow the three sister's together? It takes a little bit of space, but basically you plant corn with climbing beans (they'll use the corn stalks as supports) and then plant squash around everything. The squash will shade the ground and help preserve moisture. The three plants work together fantastically, they provide nutrients for each other and generally grow better together.

When I was 2 or 3, my dad picked up a pecan that fell to the ground and gave it to me. I got mad and said this isn't a pecan! They come in plastic bags from the store, not in a shell from a tree! My family still jokes about this... I'm 37 now. 😂

Fritters: Deep fry them (meaning, so they float) and smaller consistent sizes -- maybe use the cookie scoop. If you have it, use a digital thermometer for the oil temp. I'm curious why you so seldom use a rubber scraper (spatula) to clean out your bowls. I can't live without mine!

My local donut shop makes delicious apple fritter. They chop their apples smaller and push the dough through a cake decorating bag with a large round tip. They swirl the dough into the oil so the fritters look a lot like cinnamon rolls. Yours look fabulous for home kitchen and first effort! And isn’t the taste really what matters !
