1 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9 inch round pans. Lightly spray a medium skillet with cooking spray.
To Make Filling: In a large bowl, cream together butter, salt, pepper, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, flour and 1 cup flour until smooth. Stir in the oil and baking soda; mix until the batter is stiff and well mixed. Stir in the 2 cups of flour and oil, then mix into the creamed mixture. Divide the batter between the prepared pans, filling each half of the pan with about 1/2 cup of filling.
To Make the Dipping Sauce: In a large saucepan, combine 2 cups of cream cheese, 2 tablespoons cream of tartar, 2 teaspoons orange extract, 2 cups orange juice, 2 cups water and 1 cube of ice cream. Bring the mixture to a low heat and bring to a boil. Cover the pan and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for a couple minutes.
Dip fritters in the dipping sauce, then place onto the prepared pans using 1/2 tablespoon of filling per fritter. Drizzle the butter mixture over the fritters. Dust fritters with confectioners' sugar before serving.
