Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Strawberries
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional for dusting)
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the strawberries, making sure to remove any dirt. Leave the green leaves intact for easier handling.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and mix it with the milk. Gradually add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms. Ensure there are no lumps.
In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature to prevent burning.
Holding a strawberry by its green leaves, dip it into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated. Allow any excess batter to drip back into the bowl.
Carefully place the coated strawberry into the hot oil. Fry 3-4 strawberries at a time to avoid overcrowding the pot and lowering the oil temperature.
Fry the strawberries for about 1-2 minutes, turning occasionally, until the batter is golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried strawberries from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining strawberries until all are fried.
Optionally, dust the deep-fried strawberries with powdered sugar for added sweetness.
Serve warm and enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
