# Instructions:
01 -
In a small bowl, combine milk and vinegar. Mix well and set aside for 5-10 minutes to create a buttermilk substitute.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and caster sugar until well combined.
03 -
Add the buttermilk mixture, vegetable oil, and hot water to the dry ingredients. Whisk until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
04 -
Set up your frying station and begin heating oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
05 -
Take two slices of bread and lightly brush one side of each with milk. Flatten both slices using a rolling pin.
06 -
Place a dollop of Nutella in the center of one bread slice, then cover with the second slice (milk-brushed sides facing outward). Press edges firmly to seal.
07 -
Using a cookie cutter or knife, trim the sandwich into your desired shape, ensuring edges are well-sealed.
08 -
Dip the sealed sandwich completely in the pancake batter, allowing excess to drip off.
09 -
Carefully place the battered sandwich in hot oil and fry for about 2 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another minute until evenly colored.
10 -
While sandwiches are frying, combine caster sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl and mix well.
11 -
While still warm, roll each fried sandwich in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated on all sides.
12 -
Arrange on a serving plate and enjoy while still warm.
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure oil is at the right temperature (175°C/350°F) for perfect frying - too hot and they'll burn, too cold and they'll absorb too much oil.
02 -
For a less sweet version, you can skip the cinnamon sugar coating.
