Ingredients

Makes about 20

  • 175 g/6 oz cooked medium-grain rice

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 3 tablespoons sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 50 g/2 oz plain flour

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • pinch of salt

  • 25 g/1 oz desiccated coconut

  • vegetable oil, for deep-frying

  • sifted icing sugar, for sprinkling

Method:

  1. Put the rice, eggs, sugar and vanilla in a bowl and mix well. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt, then stir into the rice mixture. Stir in the coconut.

  2. Heat the oil in a deep fat fryer to 180-190°C (350-375°F) or until a cube of bread browns in 30 seconds.

  3. Drop tablespoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil, one at a time, and deep-fry until golden on all sides. Drain on absorbent kitchen paper.
