Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat one egg and mix in 1 cup of milk and 2 tablespoons of melted butter until smooth.
  3. Gently pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, and stir until just combined. Fold in your choice of fillings.
  4. In a deep frying pan, pour in about 2 inches of vegetable oil and heat it over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  5. Once the oil is hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the oil and cook each batch for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the golden Pancake Poppers and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
