By Lilias

Has it ever happened to you that you suddenly want to eat something sweet or salty, but you don’t have anything at home? Don’t worry! In this article we will teach you how to make fried cakes in 5 minutes, an express recipe for those sudden cravings.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • Sugar or salt to taste (to sprinkle)

Preparation:

  1. In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt.
  2. Add the water and oil, and mix well until forming a soft and homogeneous dough.
  3. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and form each one into balls.
  4. Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball of dough until it is thin and round.
  5. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom.
  6. When the oil is hot, add the fried cakes to the pan and fry on both sides until golden brown.
  7. Remove the fried cakes from the pan and place them on absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
  8. Sprinkle with sugar to taste and serve.

Tips:

  • If you don’t have baking powder, you can use baking soda mixed with vinegar or lemon juice.
  • Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the fried cakes, otherwise they will be oily.
  • Don’t add too much batter to the pan at once, as it can cause the oil temperature to drop and make the fried cakes not crispy.

With this express recipe for fried cakes in 5 minutes, you can satisfy your sudden cravings in a quick and easy way. Enjoy them sweet or savory, however you like them best!
