Ingredients

  • 500 G Flour (3.5 cups)
  • ½ Cup of Sugar
  • 1 tsp Nutmeg ( You can substitute for Cinnamon or Vanilla flavour extract)
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 tsp sunflower oil or any vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup of reduced-fat milk or water

Instructions

  • Combine all the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly: flour, baking powder, nutmeg, salt, and sugar
  • Make a well in the middle to start adding the wet ingredients.
  • Add the melted butter, sunflower oil, and egg. Give them a good mix.
  • Start adding your milk or water bit by bit until the right consistency is achieved. (Buns dough should not be too soft).
  • Cover and leave to rest for 5-8 minutes at room temperature.
  • On medium heat, place your frying pan, and pour your frying oil. (The oil should not be too hot or warm. If it's too hot, it will be left uncooked and if is too warm, it will soak the oil).
  • Start scooping the dough in the oil.
  • If one side is golden brown, flip to the other side. (It takes between 10-12 minutes to fry)
  • When both sides are golden brown, remove and drain.
  • Enjoy with any chilled drinks of your choice.
