Ingredients
– 250 g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
– 10 g (2 teaspoons) granulated sugar
– 5 g (1 teaspoon) salt
– 7 g (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
– 200 ml (¾ cup) lukewarm milk
– 1 egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 tablespoon melted butter
– Vegetable oil for frying
– Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
1-First Step: Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm milk and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy to activate the yeast.
2-Second Step: In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Form a well, then add the yeast mixture, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Stir until smooth and slightly sticky.
3-Third Step: Cover the batter and let it rest for 45 minutes in a warm place to develop air pockets for fluffiness.
4-Fourth Step: Heat vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F) in a deep fryer or pot.
5-Fifth Step: Drop small portions of batter into the hot oil using a spoon or ice cream scoop, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
6-Sixth Step: Fry for 3 to 4 minutes, turning to brown evenly until golden and puffed.
7-Final Step: Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil, then dust generously with powdered sugar while warm. Serve immediately, optionally with chocolate sauce, caramel, or whipped cream.
