Treat your ingredients with care...
- Maple syrup — Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor. Avoid using maple-flavored syrups, as they may not provide the same authentic taste.
Tips & Tricks
- For a twist, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough for extra flavor.
- Make sure the oil is at the correct temperature before frying to ensure the Timbits cook evenly and don't absorb excess oil.
- If you don't have a round cookie cutter, you can use the cap of a water bottle or any small circular object to cut out the dough circles.
