IngredientsMeasure
Flour500g
Milk500ml
Instant Yeast10g
Salt10g
Sugar25g

Instruction

  • Place the flour in a large bowl and add the yeast and sugar
  • If the milk is cold make sure to heat it to lukewarm
  • Mix your flour mixture bit by bit with the milk until you have a smooth batter
  • Add the salt and mix with a wooden spoon till the batter is smooth and liquidy
  • Cover with a clean tea towel and leave in a warm spot for about an hour to rise
  • Heat your deep fryer or add the oil to a large pot
  • The oil should be a t 180˚C (350˚F) for best results
  • Before starting stir your batter through and scoop the batter with two spoons or with an ice cream scoop
  • Let it drop into the oil carefully
  • It is easiest to do this if you dip your spoons or scoop into the oil before dipping into the batter
  • That way it will slide of the spoons easily
  • Don't over crowd the fryer to prevent the oil cooling down too quickly and everything sticking together
  • Once one side is golden brown it usually turns around to the other side automatically
  • If not help it along with two forks
  • Take the balls out once golden brown and leave to drain on a piece of kitchen paper
