Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. In a separate bowl, combine the egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until smooth.
- Heat the Oil: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep saucepan to 375°F (190°C).
- Fry the Bites: Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Fry for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Dust with Sugar: Once slightly cooled, generously dust the bites with powdered sugar.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm with dipping sauces like chocolate, caramel, or fruit preserves for an extra treat.
Notes
- Ensure the oil temperature is accurate for crispy bites — too hot, and they’ll burn; too cool, and they won’t crisp up properly.
- You can add a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for a warm, spiced flavor.
- For a fun twist, serve with a variety of dipping sauces such as chocolate, caramel, or fruit preserves.
