Ingredients
  

For the Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour This is the base of your rolls, giving them structure.
  • 1 cup milk Adds moisture and richness to the dough.
  • 1/4 cup sugar A hint of sweetness that balances the flavor perfectly.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances the overall taste of the rolls.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Helps the rolls to puff up and become light and airy.
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted, adds a lovely richness and flavor to the dough.

For Frying

  • Oil for frying, choose a neutral oil like vegetable or canola for the best results.

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Stir these dry ingredients together until they are well blended.
  • Step 2: Gradually add the milk and melted butter to your dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms. Don't worry if it's a bit sticky at first; that’s perfectly normal!
  • Step 3: Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. This step is crucial for the perfect texture!
  • Step 4: Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball, and then roll them into thin circles. The thinner you roll them, the crispier your rolls will be.
  • Step 5: Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough; you can test it by dropping a small piece of dough in. If it sizzles, you're ready to fry.
  • Step 6: Fry each rolled dough until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Watch them closely so they don’t burn!
  • Step 7: Once cooked, remove the rolls from the oil and drain them on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
  • Step 8: Serve warm and enjoy your crispy milk rolls! They are perfect on their own, but you can also pair them with a sweet dipping sauce or jam if you like.

Notes

If you want to prep ahead, you can make the dough and store it in the fridge for up to a day before frying.
