Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar (for coating)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then whisk in the buttermilk and melted butter until fully combined.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly thick.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the correct temperature.

Step 5

Using a spoon or small scoop, carefully drop a heaping tablespoon of batter into the hot oil. Fry only a few puffs at a time to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 6

Fry the puffs for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and puffed. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked puffs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for coating.

Step 8

While the puffs are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.

Step 9

Repeat the frying and coating process until all the batter is used.

Step 10

Serve the buttermilk puffs warm with coffee or tea, or enjoy them as a delightful snack!
