Ingredients :

• Baking powder — It’s what makes the fritters rise without needing yeast or resting time. A standard 11g packet works perfectly. Without it, your fritters will stay flat and dense — no substitution possible here.
• Milk — It determines the batter’s fluidity. With whole milk, the result is slightly richer. Semi-skimmed works well too. The batter should remain thick, a bit like muffin batter — not runny, not compact either.
• Orange blossom water — Optional on paper, but honestly it changes everything. One tablespoon is enough to perfume without dominating. Brand Vahiné or equivalent. If you don’t have any, a little lemon zest or half a teaspoon of vanilla extract works well.
• Vanilla sugar — In addition to regular sugar, it brings that sweet note found in all successful family pastries. One 7-8g packet. If you have vanilla powder, half a teaspoon does the job.
