Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 1 egg

  • ⅔ cup milk

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons white sugar

  • 1 ⅓ cups sifted all-purpose flour

  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 quart vegetable oil for frying

  • ¼ cup confectioners' sugar for dusting

Directions

  1. Pour 1-inch-deep oil into a heavy pan; heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Beat together egg and milk in a large bowl. Sift flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder into the bowl; beat into egg mixture until smooth.

  3. Pour batter through a funnel over hot oil with a circular motion to form a spiral. Fry in hot oil until bottom is golden brown; flip and continue cooking until golden brown all over. Drain on paper towels. Continue cooking remaining batter.

  4. Sprinkle cakes with confectioner's sugar while still warm.
