Crispy Milk Fritters

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
The secret to dough enriched with milk powder lies in the Maillard reaction: milk proteins and lactose sugar caramelize during frying, lending a deep, 'milk caramel' flavor to the pastry. This recipe results in a thick, rich dough that fries up into a dessert that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix the dry ingredients: milk powder, flour, sugar, baking soda.

Tip: Mixing without lumps is important so the baking soda acts evenly.
2 ✓

Pour in the water and mix into a thick batter. Add vanilla and pepper. Let rest for 15 minutes.

Tip: During resting, flour and milk powder absorb moisture, bringing the dough together.
3 ✓

Heat oil in a pan. Drop spoonfuls of dough into the hot oil.

Tip: Do not crowd the pan, as it cools the oil and the dough will absorb grease.
4 ✓

Fry over medium heat until golden brown on both sides.

Tip: It tends to burn suddenly due to milk powder, stay alert!
5 ✓

Drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with a little extra milk powder on top before serving.

Tip: Using milk powder instead of powdered sugar boosts the milky flavor experience.

Recipe FAQ

Can I substitute the milk powder?
In this recipe, milk powder provides the backbone of the flavor, so it cannot be omitted. Diluting with fresh milk would give you pancake batter, not this texture.
