flour

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

Honey is a natural sweetener with potential health benefits.

Measure 2.5 cups of flour into a bowl.

Add cornmeal to the bowl.

Add sugar to the bowl.

Add baking powder to the bowl.

Add salt to the bowl.

Sprinkle in cinnamon and nutmeg to taste.

Mix all dry ingredients together until well incorporated.

Measure 1 cup of milk and add vanilla to it.

Gradually add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until a slightly sticky dough forms.

Cover the dough and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

Add oil to a frying pan and set the temperature to medium-low.

Break off a piece of the rested dough and roll it between your fingers to shape it into a long log.

Repeat the rolling process for the remaining dough.

Carefully place the shaped festivals into the hot oil, ensuring not to crowd the pan.

Fry until the color comes about halfway up the festival, then flip to cook the other side.

Remove the festivals and place them on a paper towel-lined dish to absorb excess oil.

Ensure the festivals are standing up to drain properly.

Serve and enjoy, checking for fluffiness and the presence of cinnamon and nutmeg.
