Servings: 8

Ingredients

All-purpose flour
2 cups
Baking powder
1 tablespoon
Salt
1/2 teaspoon
Granulated sugar
1/4 cup
Eggs
2, beaten
Milk
1 cup
Vegetable oil
1/4 cup (for batter) and for frying
Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon
Honey or powdered sugar
for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there's enough oil to submerge the sfinge.
  5. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying only a few at a time to avoid overcrowding. Cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  6. Carefully remove the sfinge from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  7. Serve warm, drizzled with honey or sprinkled with powdered sugar.
