Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by finely chopping the fresh rhubarb and place it in a bowl. Sprinkle the chopped rhubarb with sugar and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
  2. While the rhubarb is resting, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, crack the egg and beat it lightly. Mix in the milk and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just mixed, then fold in the sugared rhubarb.
Cooking
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  2. Drop heaping tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil, frying for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown.
  3. Using a slotted spoon, remove the fritters from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Glazing
  1. Whisk together the icing sugar, milk, and additional vanilla for the glaze.
  2. Drizzle the creamy vanilla glaze over the warm fritters and serve immediately.
