  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 cup milk (can substitute with non-dairy)
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 375°F (190°C) for frying.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, milk, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Use a squeeze bottle or piping bag to drizzle batter into the hot oil in circular motions. Fry until golden brown on both sides (about 1-2 minutes).
  4. Remove fried bites using a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on paper towels. Dust generously with powdered sugar while warm.
  5. Serve warm with toppings like chocolate syrup or whipped cream, as desired.

Notes

  • For added flavor, mix in cinnamon or nutmeg into the batter.
  •  Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying; test with a small dollop of batter.
  •  Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
