Ingredients
2 eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for dusting)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup granulated sugar (for dusting)
Vegetable oil for frying (approximately 500 ml to 1 liter)
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for dusting)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup granulated sugar (for dusting)
Vegetable oil for frying (approximately 500 ml to 1 liter)
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Where to find ingredients
Eggs, sugar, milk, all-purpose flour, baking powder, vegetable oil, and ground cinnamon are readily available in any supermarket. Ground cinnamon can be found in the spices and seasonings section.
Preparation method
- In a large bowl, crack the 2 eggs
- Add the sugar (1/2 cup) and milk (1 cup)
- Mix well with a whisk or fork until smooth
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour (2 and 1/2 cups), stirring continuously to incorporate and prevent lumps
- The batter should be creamy and slightly thick, falling slowly from the spoon
- Incorporate the baking powder (1 tablespoon) into the batter, mixing gently until just combined
- Do not overmix
- In a deep pot, heat a generous amount of vegetable oil over medium heat
- The oil should be sufficient for the fritters to be submerged
- Heat the oil to approximately 180°C (350°F)
- To test, drop a small piece of batter into the hot oil
- If it bubbles and rises slowly, the oil is at the ideal temperature
- Use two spoons to shape small portions of the batter
- Carefully drop the batter portions into the hot oil, frying only a few fritters at a time to avoid cooling the oil and ensure they brown evenly
- Fry the fritters until golden brown on all sides
- Flip them during the process if necessary for even browning
- Remove the fried fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil
- In a shallow dish, mix the sugar (1 cup) with the ground cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
- Roll the still-warm fritters in this sugar and cinnamon mixture
- Serve immediately and enjoy
