Ingredients
- • 1 cup all-purpose flour
- • 1 tsp baking powder
- • 1/4 tsp salt
- • 1 tbsp sugar
- • 1 large egg
- • 3/4 cup milk
- • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- • Vegetable oil (for frying)
- • Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk egg, milk, and vanilla. Slowly mix wet ingredients into the dry until you get a smooth batter.
- Heat the Oil: Add about 2 inches of vegetable oil to a deep saucepan. Heat to 375°F (190°C).
- Fry the Bites: Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil using a small spoon or cookie scoop. Fry for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Dust with Sugar: Once slightly cooled, dust generously with powdered sugar.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm with dipping sauces like chocolate, caramel, or fruit preserves.
Pro Tips
- • Use a thermometer to keep oil at a consistent 375°F for even frying.
- • Add a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for extra flavor.
- • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer for crispiness.
