Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners. This recipe makes about 24 fritter bites.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), salt, and sugar. This step ensures even distribution of leavening and spice for a light, fluffy texture.
3. Combine the Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined — don’t overmix! The batter should be thick but soft.
