Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 10 grams baking powder
- 3 grams salt
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 120 milliliters whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 5 milliliters vanilla extract
- 750 milliliters vegetable oil
- 30 grams powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well with a whisk to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 2
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add them to the flour mixture. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a soft dough forms.
Step 5
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 2 minutes until smooth. Do not overwork the dough.
Step 6
Roll the dough out to about a 1/4-inch thickness. Use a round cutter or a glass, approximately 3 inches in diameter, to cut out circles from the rolled dough.
Step 7
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 180°C (350°F). Ensure there is enough oil to allow the pastries to float and fry evenly.
Step 8
Carefully drop a few dough circles into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown.
Step 9
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried pastries from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Allow the pastries to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Step 11
Serve warm for the best texture, and enjoy your classic fried pastries!
