Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 cups Vegetable oil, for frying
- 0.5 cup Powdered erythritol or stevia blend (optional for topping)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and blend in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 1 minute until smooth.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a flat circle around 1/4 inch thick.
In a deep skillet or large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). A thermometer is helpful for maintaining a consistent temperature.
Carefully slide a piece of dough into the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining dough pieces.
If desired, mix powdered erythritol or stevia with ground cinnamon and sprinkle over the warm fried dough.
Serve immediately and enjoy your sugar-free treat!
