Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- to taste Optional fillings (e.g., Nutella, fruit jam, or cream cheese)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth dough forms.
If adding a filling, divide the dough into small portions, flatten each portion slightly, add a dollop of filling in the center, and seal the edges completely to encase the filling.
In a deep, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a candy thermometer for accuracy.
Carefully drop a few pieces of dough into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and puffed.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried dessert thingies to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining dough.
Once cooled slightly, dust the fried dessert thingies generously with powdered sugar.
Serve warm and enjoy!
