Where to find ingredients
Look for the ingredients in the baking aisle and dairy section of supermarkets, and for cinnamon and sugar in the pantry staples section. If needed, sweetened condensed milk can be substituted with a similar canned milk-based sweetener available locally.
Preparation method
- In a bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, wheat flour, and baking powder until you have a smooth batter
- Heat enough oil for frying in a deep pan over medium-high heat until it reaches about 180°C
- Using two spoons, shape small portions of batter and carefully place them into the hot oil
- Fry the fritters until golden and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes
- Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil
- While still warm, toss the fritters in the sugar and cinnamon mixture, coating them completely
