Powdered sugar, for dusting

Whipped cream or fresh fruit, to serve (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until thoroughly combined.
02 -
Add salt, baking soda, and granulated sugar to the wet mixture. Stir gently to integrate.
03 -
Gradually fold in the flour until the batter is lump-free and smooth. Avoid overmixing.
04 -
Transfer the batter into a large resealable plastic bag or piping bag and set aside for several minutes.
05 -
Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan to a depth of approximately 1.25 cm. Heat oil over high heat for 2 minutes, then reduce to medium heat.
06 -
To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a small amount of batter into the oil. If bubbles form around the edges, the oil is ready; adjust temperature as needed.
07 -
Cut a small opening in one corner of the bag. Carefully pipe small circles of batter (about 4 cm in diameter) into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan.
08 -
Cook until golden brown on the base, then use a slotted metal spatula to gently flip each bite. Continue frying until both sides are evenly golden.
09 -
Transfer fried bites onto paper towels to absorb excess oil. Generously dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
10 -
Serve immediately topped with whipped cream or fresh fruit, if desired.
# Notes:
01 -
For best results, maintain consistent oil temperature to ensure even browning and a crisp texture.
