    \n
  1. 1\/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar<\/li>\n
  2. 3\/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon<\/li>\n
  3. 2 cups buttermilk<\/li>\n
  4. 4 teaspoons vegetable oil, plus 2 cups for frying<\/li>\n
  5. 2 large eggs, lightly beaten<\/li>\n
  6. 2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)<\/li>\n
  7. 2 teaspoons baking powder<\/li>\n
  8. 1\/2 teaspoon fine salt<\/li>\n
  9. 4 medium tart apples, such as Granny Smith, cored, peeled, and cut into 1\/2-inch-thick rings<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Preparation<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. In a medium bowl, combine 1\/2 cup sugar and cinnamon.<\/li>\n
    2. In another medium bowl, whisk buttermilk, 4 teaspoons oil, and eggs. Stir in flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt.<\/li>\n
    3. In a large, heavy, high-sided skillet, heat 2 cups oil until it registers 375 degrees on a deep-fat or candy thermometer. (The oil should bubble rapidly when a drop of batter is added.)<\/li>\n
