Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 50 g granulated sugar (plus extra for coating)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 120 ml milk
- 40 g butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Others
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 170°C (340°F) to ensure the pastries fry evenly and crisp up properly.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar, ensuring an even distribution of leavening and seasoning.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract to create a smooth liquid mixture packed with flavor.
- Form the dough: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix gently to form a soft dough. Knead lightly until the dough is smooth and cohesive.
- Shape the pastries: Roll the dough out to about 1 cm thickness and cut into your preferred shapes, readying them for frying.
- Fry the pastries: Fry the dough pieces in small batches in the hot oil until golden brown, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking on both sides.
- Drain and coat: Drain the fried pastries briefly on paper towels to remove excess oil, then toss them in granulated sugar while still warm for a delicious sweet coating.
- Serve: Serve the sugar-coated fried pastries warm for the best taste and texture. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Maintain oil temperature at around 170°C for optimal frying results and to prevent greasy pastries.
- Cut pastries uniformly to ensure even frying and consistent texture.
- Use fresh vegetable oil and avoid overcrowding the frying vessel to keep the oil temperature steady.
- These pastries are best enjoyed freshly made to retain their crispness.
