Medieval Apple Fritter with vegan ice-cream in a black bowl

Written by McDonald, T.  |  Date 28th of November 2022

With the Christmas season coming up, it is good to have a few treats in your recipe book to keep these little ones happy.  These are filling and great as a snack but best as a dessert.  They are simple and easy to make and once you have made them you can store them in the fridge for latter.  When you want them, heat them up in the oven for a few minutes.  The fritters are fun, sweet, and tasty!

Notes

  • I used both vegan butter and vegetable oil to fry the fritters in.  The butter adds flavour and the vegetable oil is both cheaper and healthier.

Ingredients

  • White flour x 160 g
  • Apple sauce x 2 tbsp
  • Apple x 1/2 chopped
  • Sultans x 2 tbsp
  • Water x 70 ml 
  • Cinnamon x 1 tsp
  • Baking powder x 1/2 tsp
  • Vegan butter for frying 20 g
  • Vegetable oil for frying x 3 tbsp
  • Salt x 1/4 tsp
  • Sugar x 4 tsp 
 

Method 

  1. Tip the flour into a mixing bowl. 

  2. Add the water and mix. 

  3. Add the apple sauce, chopped apple, sultans, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and sugar. 

  4. Mix everything together into a sticky dough. 

  5. Shape into patties and fry on a medium heat on both sides until golden brown on both sides. About 5 – 8 minutes each side.  Keep checking as you fry them, so they don't burn.

  6. Dust with icing sugar (Optional).

Written by  McDonald, T.    |  Updated 24th of March 2024 Yorkshire puddings are a tasty part of Sunday dinner in the UK not to mention Christmas and Easter.  With this in mind, a vegan alternative is required to satisfy the patriots dinner plate.  I looked for a long time and tried many different recipes, but in the end I had to alter the best basic vegan recipe to make it perfect.

Viking Skause

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 12th of December 2022 Abstract  Skause is a Viking stew, which contained, boiled meat, vegetables and Mead , an alcoholic drink made from fermented honey and included spices (What Viking Diets Were Really Like, 2021).  I wanted to make something vegan that a meat eater would think of trying.  Being as meat eaters, especially men, see themselves as being a little on the wild side, I needed something that would appeal to the old world fun vibe.  So, when I was looking through old recipes for inspiration, the Viking food immediately jumped out at me.  Bearing in mind I need to appeal to both vegans and especially non-vegans, the mock meat had to be good.  Unfortunately, the mock meat I intended to use, Naked strips, was not available, so I had to improvise.  This resulted in the idea to add three different types of mock meat to the dish.  I struggled to find suitable mock meats at such short notice. ...

By T. McDonald . | Date 1st of November 2019 | Updated on 15th April 2021 Ever woke up and thought, ‘Is this it?’ Have you ever been plagued with the idea that something is wrong with the world or your life; something you can’t quite put your finger on? If you have seen the matrix, you may be aware of the famous quote about having a splinter in the mind. Something in life is wrong and that thing is the price of ignorance. Something in life is wrong.  The fictional character Morpheus from the movie The Matrix (1999) explains: ‘ …there is something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it is there like a splinter in your mind… ’ So, what is it that is troubling people so much that it comes out in modern media and common sayings?  To answer that question, we must first look at what we are. We are animals. Animals need to find resources by which to sustain themselves and humans are no different. Notably, many people also have pets ranging from dogs and...
