Ingredients
1 cup tepid water
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp dried yeast
1 tsp vanilla powder
1 cup plain flour
Pinch ground cinnamon
Olive oil for shallow frying
Honey & crushed walnuts to top
30 mins to prepare and cook | batter makes approx 8-10 small tiganites
Method
Add the tepid water to a bowl and combine the sugar, yeast and vanilla powder. Whisk until frothy.
Add the plain flour and ground cinnamon and whisk once again for a few minutes until the batter is well combined.
In a frying pan, heat up the olive oil over a medium heat. Once the oil is ready (you can tell by placing a wooden spoon in the oil and seeing if the oil foams around it), add about a tbsp of the batter. Shallow fry for 2 minutes on both sides or until lightly golden.
Remove and place on a plate with kitchen roll to drain the excess oil. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
Top with honey and crushed walnuts to serve.
