Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then whisk in the buttermilk and melted butter until fully combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the correct temperature.
Using a spoon or small scoop, carefully drop a heaping tablespoon of batter into the hot oil. Fry only a few puffs at a time to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry the puffs for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and puffed. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked puffs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for coating.
While the puffs are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
Repeat the frying and coating process until all the batter is used.
Serve the buttermilk puffs warm with coffee or tea, or enjoy them as a delightful snack!
