HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

02

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and granulated sugar until well combined.

03

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.

04

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

05

Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying 3-4 fritters at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

06

Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

07

Serve the Petulla me Mjaltë warm, drizzled generously with honey.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or orange zest to the batter. Ensure the oil temperature is consistent for evenly cooked fritters.

Easy Substitutions

If you don't have milk, you can use buttermilk for a tangier flavor. Maple syrup or a fruit compote can be used instead of honey.

Storage & Reheating

Petulla are best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day, but they will lose some crispness. Reheat briefly in a toaster oven for best results.
