Ingredients
1 cup Nutella (pre-frozen in small dollops)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Optional: pinch of cinnamon
Optional: vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving
Instructions
1. Scoop teaspoon-sized Nutella dollops onto parchment paper and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
2. In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, and vanilla extract together.
4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients to form a smooth batter, and let it rest for 5–10 minutes.
5. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a pot to 350°F (175°C).
6. Coat the frozen Nutella centers in batter, ensuring full coverage.
7. Fry 3–4 dumplings at a time until golden brown, turning as needed (about 2–3 minutes).
8. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
9. Dust immediately with powdered sugar.
10. Serve hot with optional ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Always freeze Nutella before coating to avoid leaks during frying.
Use a slotted spoon and monitor oil temperature for best texture.
Serve fresh—these dumplings are at their peak right out of the fryer.
