Ingredients

  • Vegetable oil for deep frying
  • 500 g plain flour
  • 250 g brown sugar
  • 1½ tbsp baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 270 ml evaporated milk
  • 270 ml coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp pandan essence
  • Icing sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Pour enough oil into a large heavy-based saucepan to come two-thirds of the way up the side. Set pan over a medium-high heat. Heat oil until 180°C. Use a kitchen thermometer to gauge temperature.
  2. Combine flour, sugar and baking powder in a large bowl. In another large bowl, whisk egg, milks and pandan essence until combined. Whisk milk mixture into flour mixture until smooth and well combined.
  3. Cut the tip of the squeezy bottle to create a larger opening. Pour the mixture into the squeezy bottle and secure lid on bottle.
  4. One at a time, squeeze batter into hot oil in a 10 cm spiral shape. Allow to cook for 30 seconds each side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. Repeat with remaining batter. Allow to cool slightly.
  5. Dust with icing sugar, to serve.
