Heat oil: In a deep pan or pot, heat about 2 inches of oil to 350°F (175°C).
Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar (if using), and salt.
Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine milk, yogurt, egg yolk, and vanilla. Add to dry ingredients and stir until smooth.
Whip egg white: Beat the egg white to stiff peaks. Gently fold it into the batter—this is what gives them their cloud-like texture.
Add fruit (optional): Fold in any fruit or flavorings now.
Fry: Drop heaping spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Don’t crowd the pan. Fry 2–3 minutes per side until golden and puffed.
Drain & dust: Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar or glaze if desired.
