Easy fried cakes very similar to pancakes.
INGREDIENTS (for 1 servings):
- 1 egg
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 1/3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
- 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting
PREPARATION:
Beat egg. Mix in milk. Sift flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder; beat into egg mixture until smooth.
Pour oil into a heavy pan until it is 1 inch deep. Heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Pour batter through funnel into oil with a circular motion to form a spiral. Fry until lightly brown; turn over to brown the other side. Cook to golden brown, and remove to drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar while still warm.
Editor's Note:We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
