Makes 14
Preparation time: 15 min
Cooking time: 5 min
125 ml (½ c) milk
250 ml (1 c) water
250 ml (1 c) flour
5 ml (1 t) ground allspice
10 ml (2 t) baking powder
15 ml (1 T) oil, extra oil for deep frying
60 ml (¼ c) smooth strawberry jam
125 ml (½ c) caster sugar
15 ml (1 T) ground cinnamon
1 Heat the milk and water in a small pot until just about boiling.
2 In a bowl combine the flour, allspice, baking powder and oil. Add the warm milk mixture and stir until well combined.
3 Allow the dough to rest while you heat the rest of the oil in a small pot on medium heat.
4 Shape the dough into round golf ball shapes and fry in hot oil in batches until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on kitchen paper to drain any excess oil.
5 Using a sharp knife make a small hole in each fried ball. Place the jam in a plastic bag and pipe it into each ball. Mix the sugar and cinnamon, roll the balls in the mixture and serve.
