In a large saucepan pour about 2 mugs of vegetable oil and place on medium heat.
In a medium sized bowl, mix all dry ingredients together then pour milk slowly into mixture then add egg and mix well.
When oil has heated enough, rub hands with dry flour and scoop a tbsp and a half of the mixture. Roll it into a nice smooth ball and pop in the oil, (reduce heat so that they do not brown outside before they are thoroughly cooked inside) repeat the process till you finish, making sure you turn the fat cooks so that they don’t burn.
Ensure that the balls are small enough so that they are easy to cook through. They should be golden brown and still nicely shaped when you are done.
