About 1/2 inch of vegetable oil
# Instructions:
01 -
Stir together milk, egg, vanilla, and melted butter in a medium bowl. Mix until smooth.
02 -
Add sugar, baking soda, and salt to the bowl of wet ingredients. Stir well.
03 -
Slowly add flour to the wet mixture. Gently fold until there are no lumps left.
04 -
Pour your batter into a gallon-sized zip bag. Close it securely and let it rest for a bit.
05 -
Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan so it reaches about 1/2 inch deep. Heat it on high at first, then lower to medium after a couple of minutes.
06 -
Drop a tiny piece of batter into the oil to test if it's hot. If it sizzles, you're good. If not, adjust the heat a little higher.
07 -
Cut a small hole in one corner of the bag. Squeeze the batter into the hot oil in a circular pattern. Cook until one side turns golden and crispy.
08 -
Carefully turn the cakes over using a slotted spatula. Let the other side cook until golden too.
09 -
Move the finished bites to some paper towels to soak up extra oil. Sprinkle powdered sugar on them while warm.
10 -
Enjoy them right away with some whipped cream or fresh fruit, if you like.
# Notes:
01 -
These taste amazing while warm and freshly made. You can make smaller or larger bites depending on how much batter you pipe in.
