Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by finely chopping your fresh rhubarb and tossing it with sugar in a bowl. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat the egg until combined, then stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, gently stirring until just combined.
  5. In a deep skillet, heat oil to 350°F (175°C) for frying.
  6. Using a heaping tablespoon, drop dollops of batter into the hot oil and fry for about 2 minutes on each side.
  7. Once golden brown, use a slotted spoon to transfer fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. In a small bowl, combine icing sugar, milk, and vanilla extract for the glaze and whisk until smooth.
  9. Once fritters are slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze generously over the top.
