  • You can replace cardamom with nutmeg and cinnamon. You can use your palm or use 1 tablespoon to scoop the batter into the oil.

Notes

Adding water to a recipe like this should be done gradually because of the type of flour. I used high-protein flour (grade A), which requires more water. Therefore, I advise you to add milk gradually.
My children do not like sugary snacks, which is why I used 110 grams of sugar. Their feedback was that it's slightly sweet, which we are fine with. You may add 10=20g more if you want it sweet. I used unrefined organic sugar, which is less sweet than regular sugar.
