Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom (freshly ground or may sub 2 tsp grated lemon zest)
- 6 1/2 ounces milk (See prep step #2)
- 5 tablespoons raisins (chopped if at all lrg)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Whisk eggs & sugar in a bowl.
-
Step 2: Mix flour, baking powder, cardamom & salt. Stir this mixture into the egg mixture, alternating w/the milk. (NOTE: You may not need all the milk. The batter should be thick & almost able to hold its shape.)
-
Step 3: Fold in the raisins. Heat oil to 365F.
-
Step 4: Shape balls using 2 tablespoons & fry 5-6 at a time for 3-4 min or till med-brown & puffy, turning several times to cook evenly.
-
Step 5: Remove w/slotted spoon, drain on absorbent paper & repeat process to use all batter.
-
Step 6: NOTE #1: Serving size is 2 "Love Balls" per person.
-
Step 7: NOTE #2: I was surprised there was no mention of plumping the raisins. I would favor doing that, but it's your choice.
