Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the tapioca flour, sugar, baking powder, vanilla and a pinch of salt.
  2. Add the coconut milk and egg, then mix until you have a soft, smooth dough with no lumps.
  3. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes so the tapioca can hydrate.
  4. Heat the oil in a deep pan to about 170 °C, then shape small balls with a wet spoon.
  5. Fry the fritters for 3 to 4 minutes, turning them, until golden, then drain on paper towels and dust with icing sugar.

Variations and tips

Baked version. Place the dough balls on a buttered tray and bake for 20 minutes at 180 °C for a lighter version.
