Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Low-fat milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- for frying Vegetable oil spray
- for dusting Powdered sugar
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the low-fat milk and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over mix as this can make the dough tough.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly spray it with vegetable oil spray.
Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop small balls of batter into the pan, making sure to leave enough space between each one.
Allow the dough balls to cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a spatula to gently turn them over.
Once done, transfer the dough balls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Let them cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar.
Serve warm and enjoy!
