Instructions
Prepare the dry ingredients
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well.
Pro tip: Use a whisk to ensure even distribution of the baking powder.
Combine wet ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, beaten egg, and oil until well combined.
Pro tip: Make sure the egg is fully integrated into the milk.
Form the dough
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. Knead lightly until smooth.
Pro tip: Avoid over-kneading to prevent tough fritters.
Roll out the dough
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to about 0.5 cm (1/4 inch) thickness.
Pro tip: Keep the thickness consistent for even frying.
Cut the dough
Cut the dough into rectangles approximately 10 cm x 4 cm (4 x 1.5 inches). Make a small slit in the centre of each piece.
Pro tip: The slit helps the fritters fry evenly.
Heat the oil
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 180°C (350°F).
Pro tip: Use a thermometer to maintain the correct temperature.
Fry the fritters
Fry the dough pieces in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Pro tip: Avoid overcrowding to keep the oil temperature steady.
Drain and serve
Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve warm.
Pro tip: Serve immediately for the best texture.
Tips & Tricks
- Ensure your oil is hot enough to avoid greasy fritters.
