Ingredients 
 

  • 70 g Okinawan brown sugar (kokuto) or muscovado
  • 1 medium egg(s)
  • ½ tbsp neutral flavoured oil or melted butter
  • 125 g cake flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • cooking oil for deep frying

Instructions 

  • Preheat the cooking oil between 150 °C (302 °F) and 160 °C (320 °F). Sift 70 g Okinawan brown sugar into a large mixing bowl using a sieve, use a spatula to help work the lumps through. Use a knife to cut up any especially large pieces.

  • Crack 1 medium egg(s) into the bowl and add ½ tbsp neutral flavoured oil. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and well incorporated.

  • In a separate bowl, mix 125 g cake flour, 1 tsp baking powder and 1 pinch salt together until well distributed.

  • Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix them together using a spatula until a dough is formed. It should have the consistency of soft cookie dough.

  • Tip: Use two spoons to divide the dough into equal pieces (I make twelve) and lay them on a silicone baking mat or greaseproof paper.

  • Once the oil is heated, roll each piece into a ball and carefully place it in the oil. I recommend greasing your hands for this as the dough is very sticky.

  • Deep fry until golden and cracked. This will take about 4-5 minutes. (When they are ready, they should float and roll around in the oil.)
