Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 350 gms – 0.75 lb. – 2 4/5 cups all purpose flour
- 100 gms – ½ cup sugar (plus more to coat)
- 1 pinch salt
- 7 gms – 2.5 tsp dry yeast
- 80 ml – 1/3 cup water (lukewarn)
- 200 ml – 6.75 oz. coconut milk
- Vegetable oil for deep frying (I use sunflower oil)
Instruction
- Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water. Add 1 tbsp of the sugar, mix well and leave the yeast aside to activate until frothy.
- Put all the ingredients (including the frothy yeast) in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whisk well. You need to obtain a thick and smooth batter. (You can also do this by hand)
- Cover the bowl and leave it in a warm place to rise for 3 hours.
- Put the batter into a piping bag and cut a 5 cm – 2 inch hole (or use a 5 cm – 2 inch round tip).
- Heat the vegetable oil until it reaches 170°C – 340°F.
- Pipe the batter into the hot oil cutting out pieces of approximately 13 cm – 5 inches in length.
- Fry them on both sides until golden brown (they need to be more brown than golden!).
- Put them on a plate covered with kitchen paper to drain the excess oil, then roll them in granulated sugar and serve!
