Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- Whisk
- Deep Skillet or Pot
- Slotted spoon
- Paper Towels
- Cookie Scoop or Spoon
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 1.5 cups milk
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- vegetable oil for frying
- powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs until foamy. Whisk in milk and vanilla until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet until a thick, smooth batter forms.
- Heat about ¾ inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 375°F (190°C).
- Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, cooking a few at a time. Fry until golden on one side, then flip to cook the other side evenly.
- Remove bites with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- While still warm, dust generously with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
Notes
Try flavor variations by adding lemon zest, almond extract, or cocoa powder. For a lighter version, use the air fryer. Serve with dipping sauces or toppings for a fun dessert bar!
