Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.

  2. 2

    Whisk Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Then add in the milk and melted butter, whisking until fully combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large frying pan or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.

  2. 5

    Cook Batter

    Using a ladle, pour the batter into the hot oil, making small circles. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  3. 6

    Drain Excess Oil

    Once cooked, remove the crispy/soft pieces and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Serve warm with your choice of optional toppings such as powdered sugar, maple syrup, or fresh berries.
