Part 3/5:
Using a spatula, mix the ingredients until well combined. The goal is to thoroughly blend the sugar into the base mixture, resulting in a smooth texture. To achieve this, introduce one cup of all-purpose flour incrementally, ensuring you mix it step-by-step with milk. Start with half a cup of flour, then gradually add a quarter cup of milk while stirring gently to prevent any splatter—especially if you're wearing your favorite shirt!
Afterward, incorporate the remaining flour and pour in the rest of the milk. Finish off the batter by adding half a tablespoon of baking powder, but remember, this should be done right before frying to maximize its leavening effect.
