Description
Crispy, golden sugar-coated fried pastries with a soft and airy inside. Perfectly sweet and nostalgic, these are quick to make and even quicker to disappear.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (plus extra for coating)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a skillet or pot to 350°F.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, milk, and melted butter.

- Form tablespoon-sized balls of dough with floured hands.
- Fry 4–5 at a time for 2 to 3 minutes until golden, flipping halfway.

Notes
- Rest the dough for 10 minutes before frying for a fluffier result.
- Use a thermometer to keep oil at a steady 350°F.
