Ingredients:
– 120 ml warm milk
– 10 g brewer’s yeast
– 40 g sugar
– 40 g melted butter (you can replace it with oil)
– Pinch of salt
– 8 g vanilla flavoring
– 1 egg at room temperature
– 280 g all-purpose flour
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk. Stir well and let it sit for 10 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, melted butter, salt, vanilla, and egg.
3. Gradually add the flour and mix well with a wooden spoon or your hands. You should get a smooth and sticky dough.
4. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and place it in a warm place. Let the dough rise for about an hour or until doubled in size.
5. When the dough is ready, punch it down and knead it lightly on a floured surface.
6. Shape the dough into small balls, about the size of a walnut. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between them.
7. Cover the balls with a damp cloth and let them rest for another 30 minutes.
8. Heat oil in a large pot or deep-fryer over medium-high heat. Carefully drop the balls in batches and fry them until golden and puffy, turning them occasionally. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels.
9. Serve your fluffy fried balls as you prefer. You can dust them with powdered sugar, drizzle them with honey, or dip them in chocolate sauce. Enjoy!
