Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Vegetable Oil (for frying)
- Powdered Sugar (for dusting)
- Optional Toppings: Chocolate Sauce, Fruit Compote, Whipped Cream
Instructions
- Prepare the batter by mixing dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt) in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, then add milk and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Heat vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat.
- Test oil temperature by dropping a small amount of batter into it; it should sizzle and rise.
- Fill a piping bag with batter and squeeze into hot oil in circular motions.
- Fry in small batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove bites with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the batter is thick but pourable; adjust with milk if necessary.
- Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature and avoid greasy bites.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to restore crispiness.
