Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat a pan over medium heat.
- Cook the bacon strips until they are crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and set aside. Keep warm.
- In a medium-sized bowl, sift the self-raising flour and add a dash of salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the salt.
- Gradually add the milk to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to create a smooth batter.
- In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking. To test, drop a small bit of batter into the oil – it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
- Once the oil is ready, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the pan. Fry the puftaloons in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan.
- Cook each puftaloon for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and puffed up.
- Transfer the cooked puftaloons to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter until it’s smooth and slightly browned but not burnt.
- Place the warm puftaloons on a serving plate.
- Drizzle the melted butter generously over the top.
- Arrange the crispy bacon strips on the side.
- Finish with a generous drizzle of maple syrup over both the puftaloons and bacon.
- Serve immediately while the puftaloons are warm and fluffy, with the bacon crispy and the maple syrup adding a touch of sweetness.
Tips:
- Ensure that your self-raising flour is fresh for maximum puffiness in your Puftaloons.
- Use a thermometer to maintain the oil at a consistent temperature of around 350°F (175°C) for even cooking.
- For extra crispy bacon, bake it in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Use a non-stick frying pan to avoid the Puftaloons sticking and for easier cleanup.
- Drain fried Puftaloons on a paper towel to remove excess oil before serving.
With their light, airy texture and delightful pairing of maple syrup and bacon, Puftaloons are a versatile and indulgent treat. By following these tips and ensuring you have fresh ingredients, you can create a delicious and memorable dish that's perfect for any occasion. Enjoy your Puftaloons warm, topped generously with crispy bacon and drizzled with maple syrup for the ultimate flavor experience.
