What to get ready

• Glutinous rice flour 480 g
• Chicken eggs 8
• Sugar 200 g
• Oil 600 ml
• Vanilla 4 g

Method

1. 1 Beat the eggs with the sugar until dissolved, then add the vanilla.
2. 2 Pour the eggs into the glutinous rice flour and knead until the dough is smooth, pliable, and no longer sticky.
3. 3 Pinch the dough into small balls about the size of a longan fruit, then roll them into perfect spheres.
4. 4 Deep-fry the cakes over low heat so they cook through, expand evenly, and don't burn.
5. 5 Increase the heat at the end until the crust is golden brown and crispy, then remove and toss with a little sugar.
