FAQs

Can I use plain yogurt instead of vanilla?
Yes! Add a splash of vanilla extract or extra sugar if you like it sweeter.

Can I bake these instead of frying?
You can try air frying or baking at 375°F (190°C) until golden, but frying gives the best texture.

How long do they keep?
Best eaten fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container for 1–2 days.
