Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 1 whole Large egg
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0 Powdered sugar or honey (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk the whole milk and a large egg together until well blended.
Step 3
Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 4
In a large, deep pan or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Step 5
Using two teaspoons or a small cookie scoop, carefully drop small scoops of dough into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 6
Fry the dough balls for 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through, turning them occasionally with a slotted spoon for even cooking.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the dough balls from the oil using the slotted spoon and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 8
Repeat the frying process with the remaining dough.
Step 9
Once all the dough balls are fried, allow them to cool slightly before dusting them with powdered sugar or drizzling them with honey.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy your soy-free classic fried dough balls!
