Waffle Balls

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Waffle Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there is enough oil for frying the waffle balls.

  3. 3

    Fry the Waffle Balls

    Using a small ice cream scoop or spoon, drop the batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the fried waffle balls warm with honey butter and syrup on the side.
