Batter:
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
- 2 cups milk (I used almond milk)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Additional:
- Canola oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Batter Preparation: In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, canola oil, melted butter, vanilla extract, milk, and sugar (if using).
- Adding Dry Ingredients: Gently stir in the sifted flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Frying: Heat canola oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Test the oil temperature by dropping a small amount of batter; it should start frying calmly immediately.
- Frying the Bites: Using a mini ice cream scoop, drop batter into the hot oil without overcrowding. Fry until golden on both sides.
- Serving: Remove the fried bites onto a paper towel-lined plate. Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Be cautious when working with hot oil.
- Adjust sugar according to your sweetness preference.
