baking powder

🥗Healthier: baking soda

💰Cheaper: self-rising flour

Baking soda can work as a leavening agent, and self-rising flour simplifies the recipe.

In a large bowl, combine 2.5 cups of flour, 0.5 cup of sugar, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder, using a sieve for the baking powder.

Activate 15 grams of yeast by mixing it with 1 teaspoon of sugar and a little water until it becomes liquid.

Mix the dry ingredients together and then pour in the activated yeast.

Gradually add in 400 ml of warm water, adjusting as needed to achieve the desired texture.

Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and let it rest for about 2 hours until it has risen significantly.

After 2 hours, mix the dough to remove air bubbles.

Heat a large pot with oil for frying the fritters.

Scoop spoonfuls of the dough into the hot oil, frying them while turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Once browned, remove the fritters from the oil.
