Ingredients

• 12 pieces Strawberries
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and pat dry the strawberries, making sure to remove any dirt. Leave the green leaves intact for easier handling.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a small bowl, beat the egg and mix it with the milk. Gradually add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms. Ensure there are no lumps.

Step 4

In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature to prevent burning.

Step 5

Holding a strawberry by its green leaves, dip it into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated. Allow any excess batter to drip back into the bowl.

Step 6

Carefully place the coated strawberry into the hot oil. Fry 3-4 strawberries at a time to avoid overcrowding the pot and lowering the oil temperature.

Step 7

Fry the strawberries for about 1-2 minutes, turning occasionally, until the batter is golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried strawberries from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining strawberries until all are fried.

Step 10

Optionally, dust the deep-fried strawberries with powdered sugar for added sweetness.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
