Ingredients
The following ingredients have 8 Servings
- 1/4 cup caster / superfine sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup flour, plain / all purpose ((Note 1))
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp vegetable, canola or olive oil ((not extra virgin olive oil))
- 1 cup boiling water
- 2 cups+ vegetable or canola oil (, for frying)
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate or semi sweet chocolate chips ((Note 2))
- 1/2 cup thickened / heavy cream ((heavy cream))
Instruction
- Cinnamon sugar coating: Combine sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl, set aside.
- Batter: Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Add oil and water and mix until just combined - it should be a thick, gummy batter, like a wet sticky dough, not thin and watery.
- Piping bag: Transfer dough into a piping bag with a 8mm / 1/3" star tip nozzle. Set aside while oil heats.
- Heat oil: Heat 5cm / 2" oil over medium high in a small pot, wok or small but deep skillet (Note 3) to 170°C/340°F, or until it takes 20 seconds for a small cube of bread to turn golden.
- Pipe & snip: Pipe 15cm / 6" lengths of dough into the oil, snipping with scissors (snip close to oil surface to avoid splash). Do 3 to 4 per batch, makes 10 to 12 in total.
- Cook: Cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden and crisp, rolling occasionally.
- Drain: Remove onto paper towel lined plate to drain. Then roll in sugar. Serve hot with Chocolate Sauce!
