Ingredients
1tsp vanilla extract
50g unsalted butter, melted
250g self-raising flour
150g double cream
11⁄2tbsp raspberry jam, thinned with 2tsp warm water
1.5L oil, for frying
4tbsp caster sugar
Method
1Place 350ml boiling water in a jug and add the vanilla and butter.
2Sift the flour into a large bowl and make a well in the centre.
3Pour in the butter mixture and beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until you have a lump-free batter. Set aside to cool for 10 mins.
4For the dip, whisk the cream until soft peaks form. Fold in the jam with a metal spoon, leaving ripples in the cream.
5Heat the oil in a deep-fat fryer to 170C, or in a deep pan until a cube of bread dropped in goes golden in 40 secs.
6Fit a 2cm star nozzle to a piping bag and fill with the dough. Carefully pipe 8-10cm strips into the fryer, 2 at a time, and snip off each strip with scissors.
7Fry for 3-4 mins until crisp and golden.
8Remove and drain on kitchen roll. Sprinkle with the sugar. Serve with the raspberry cream dip.
