Sweet Rice Fritters

Ingredients

In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, milk, butter, lemon zest, and lastly the rice. Cook gently until the milk is completely absorbed by the rice.
Once cooked, transfer the rice to a mixing bowl and let it cool. Stir in the flour mixed with the baking powder, followed by the egg.
Fold the remaining lemon zest and the raisins into the mixture, stirring well until evenly combined.
Heat the oil for frying. Using a teaspoon, drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil and fry the fritters until they are golden brown.
Drain the fritters on paper towels, then roll them in granulated sugar. Serve while still warm.
