Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 2⁄3 cups whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 2⁄3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1⁄2 tsp salt
  • Peanut oil, for frying
  • 1⁄2 cup powdered sugar, for dusting

Instruction

  • Place the milk and eggs in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium-size bowl. Turn the flour mixture on top of the milk and egg mixture and whisk until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour 2 inches oil into a large, deep skillet or pot and heat over medium- high heat until it reaches 375°F. When the oil is nearly hot enough, pick up a funnel (with at least a 5⁄8-inch opening) with one hand and hold one finger over the bottom of the funnel to close it. Pour or ladle batter into the funnel. Move your hand over to the hot oil, and release your finger to let the batter drop enough. Move the funnel in circles to create a spiral, beginning at the center and moving outward. You can make these as large or small as you like. About 6 inches in diameter is a good size. Fry for about 1 1⁄2 minutes per side, turning once, until deeply browned. With tongs, remove the cakes to brown paper or a wire rack to drain. Dust with confectioners’ sugar and serve hot. Repeat with the remaining batter.
