Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Optional additions:
- Warm honey or cinnamon sugar for extra flavor
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Use a spoon or cookie scoop for portioning.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough into the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding.
- Fry each batch for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and puffed up.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Once cooled slightly, dust generously with powdered sugar. Serve warm for the best experience.
Notes
- Ensure oil temperature stays around 350°F to prevent greasiness.
- Reheat leftovers in an air fryer for crispness.
- Feel free to add cinnamon sugar or honey for extra flavor.
