Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, table cream, wheat flour, and baking powder until the batter is smooth.
- Heat enough oil for deep-frying in a deep pot over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 180°C.
- Using two spoons, shape small portions of the batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil.
- Fry the fritters until they are golden and crispy, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
