Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and cinnamon.
- Add the softened butter and rub it in with your fingertips until the texture is sandy.
- Gradually work in the egg, vanilla and lukewarm milk to get a soft dough that isn't sticky.
- Cover and let rest 20 minutes at room temperature so the dough rises slightly.
- Heat the oil in a tall pot to 170 °C (a drop of dough should sizzle and slowly rise).
- Shape small balls about the size of a walnut, then drop them into the oil a few at a time.
- Fry 3 to 4 minutes, turning them, then drain on paper towels.
- Dust with powdered sugar and enjoy while still warm.
Variations and tips
Oven version. Place the dough balls on a tray, brush them with melted butter and bake at 180 °C for 12 to 15 minutes.
Coated version. Roll the warm ti-bitin in cinnamon sugar for a crisp coating.
