Units
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Optional toppings: chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, fruit compote, whipped cream, sprinkles
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Make the Batter:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined (don’t overmix). The batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Heat the Oil:
- Pour about 2 inches of vegetable oil into a deep skillet or Dutch oven. Heat over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the Fries:
- Using a funnel or piping bag, drizzle the batter into the hot oil in long, thin strips to form fries. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Cook Until Golden:
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Flip with a slotted spoon or tongs.
- Drain and Cool:
- Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Dust with Sugar:
- While still warm, dust generously with powdered sugar.
- Add Toppings:
- Drizzle with toppings of your choice (chocolate, caramel, fruit compote, whipped cream, etc.).
- Serve Immediately:
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Cinnamon Sugar: Combine sugar with cinnamon for a classic flavor.
- Toppings: Get creative! Try Nutella, peanut butter, jam, or even ice cream.
- Baked Version: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes for a healthier option.
- Batter Consistency: Add more milk if the batter is too thick.
- Keep Warm: Keep the fried fries warm in a low oven (200°F or 90°C) while you fry more.
