Dessert · world favourite.

Ingredients

• 500g Flour
• 500ml Milk
• 10g Instant Yeast
• 10g Salt
• 25g Sugar

Method

1. Add ingredients — Place the flour in a large bowl and add the yeast and sugar.
2. Heat the pan — If the milk is cold make sure to heat it to lukewarm.
3. Mix together — Mix your flour mixture bit by bit with the milk until you have a smooth batter.
4. Mix together — Add the salt and mix with a wooden spoon till the batter is smooth and liquidy.
5. Cover and cook — Cover with a clean tea towel and leave in a warm spot for about an hour to rise.
6. Fry — Heat your deep fryer or add the oil to a large pot.
7. Continue cooking — The oil should be a t 180˚C (350˚F) for best results.
8. Stir — Before starting stir your batter through and scoop the batter with two spoons or with an ice cream scoop.
9. Continue cooking — 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.
10. Fry — 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.
11. Continue cooking — Once one side is golden brown it usually turns around to the other side automatically.
12. Drain — 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.
