Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 0.75 cups whole milk
• 4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 3 minutes using an electric mixer.

Step 3

Add the egg to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined, making sure not to overmix the batter.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer to maintain this temperature.

Step 6

Using a small cookie scoop or two spoons, carefully drop tablespoon-sized balls of batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.

Step 7

Fry each batch for about 3-4 minutes, or until the Tim Bits are golden brown on all sides. Use a slotted spoon to turn them halfway through the frying process.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the Tim Bits from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and powdered sugar. Roll the warm Tim Bits in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your homemade Tim Bits!
