Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
- 2 large eggs
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cooking and Finishing:
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients in a spacious mixing vessel, thoroughly blending flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until uniformly distributed.
- In a separate container, vigorously whisk milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until perfectly integrated.
- Gently merge wet and dry mixtures, stirring carefully to create a smooth, lump-free batter with consistent texture.
- Select a deep cooking vessel and fill with vegetable oil, heating to precise temperature of 350F (175C), monitoring carefully to maintain consistent warmth.
- Utilize a small scoop or spoon to delicately release batter droplets into the sizzling oil, ensuring ample spacing between each morsel.
- Allow bites to transform into golden-hued delicacies, rotating midway through cooking process to achieve even, crisp exterior.
- Extract perfectly cooked bites using a perforated utensil, transferring to absorbent paper surface to eliminate excess oil.
- Liberally blanket warm bites with powdered sugar, creating a delicate, snow-like coating.
- Present immediately alongside complementary dipping sauces such as rich chocolate, silky caramel, or vibrant fresh fruit compote for enhanced enjoyment.
Notes
- Maintain precise oil temperature around 350F to ensure crispy, golden-brown exterior without burning or undercooking.
- Use a candy thermometer for accurate oil temperature monitoring during frying to prevent soggy or overly greasy bites.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan by frying small batches, which helps maintain consistent oil temperature and prevents bites from sticking together.
- Experiment with alternative flours like gluten-free blend or almond flour for those with dietary restrictions, adjusting liquid ratios as needed for proper batter consistency.
