Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the coconut milk, water, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but pliable.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently for about 1-2 minutes until smooth.
Divide the dough into small balls, approximately one to two inches in diameter.
In a large heavy skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Carefully drop a few dough balls into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry the dough balls for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried dough balls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Once all the dough balls are fried, dust generously with powdered sugar.
Serve warm and enjoy your dairy-free fried dough balls as a snack or dessert.
