Prep Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour 🌾
2 tablespoons sugar 🍮
1/2 teaspoon salt 💸
1/4 teaspoon baking powder ⚖️
1 cup milk 🥛
1 large egg 🥚
Vegetable oil for frying ⛽️
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional) ❄️
Preparation Steps:
1️⃣ In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder 🔄
2️⃣ In a separate bowl, whisk together milk and egg 🥛
3️⃣ Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until smooth 🌈
4️⃣ Heat about 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan to 375°F ⛽️
5️⃣ Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop small balls of batter into the oil 🎂
6️⃣ Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, then flip and fry for another 2 minutes 🔄
7️⃣ Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil 🧹
8️⃣ Dust with powdered sugar (if desired) and serve warm 😋
Notes and Tips:
For an extra crispy coating, chill the batter in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before frying ❄️
Don't overcrowd the oil when frying, cook in batches if necessary 🚫
If you don't have a thermometer to measure oil temperature, test with a small piece of batter - it should sizzle and rise to the surface quickly
