Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar Can use coconut sugar for a healthier option.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk Can substitute with almond milk or buttermilk.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Frying
  • as needed none Oil for frying Ensure oil is hot enough for best results.
  • as needed none Powdered sugar for dusting

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, beat the egg and mix in milk and vanilla extract.
  3. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until you have a smooth batter, thick but pourable.
Cooking
  1. Heat about 2 inches of oil over medium heat in a deep frying pan.
  2. Drop a small spoonful of batter into the oil to test if it bubbles and rises.
  3. Using a funnel or a ziplock bag, drizzle the batter into the hot oil in a random pattern.
  4. Fry until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes on each side.
  5. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and let them drain on paper towels.
  6. Dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
Serving
  1. Serve fresh and enjoy with family or keep them for yourself!

Notes

For crispier bites, ensure oil is hot enough, and consider adding toppings like chocolate sauce or fresh fruit.
