Method

  • step 1

    Mix the milk, sugar, yeast, egg and flour together until it comes together into a dough – don’t worry if it isn't smooth. Cover and leave to prove for 1 hr at room temperature, then stir in the melted butter with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cover again, transfer to the fridge and leave to prove overnight.

  • step 2

    The next day, remove the dough from the fridge and leave to come to room temperature for 1 hr before frying. Fill a wide, deep frying pan no more than a third full with oil and heat until a pinch of dough starts to sizzle as soon as it's dropped in. Fry 3-4 dessert-spoon-sized scoops of dough at a time until browned, about 1-2 mins, then flip over and repeat on the other side. Alternatively, spoon the mixture into a piping bag, snip off the end and pipe directly into the hot oil. Remove the cooked fritters to a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain, and repeat until all the dough has been used. If needed, keep warm in a low oven while you fry the rest.

  • step 3

    Tip the hot fritters into a heatproof bowl, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and gently toss to coat. Serve hot.

Tip: You can add other flavours to this dough such as cocoa, chocolate chips, grated apple or mashed banana.
