Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
- In another bowl, mix milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until smooth.
- Using a spoon or small scoop, drop batter into the hot oil, without overcrowding.
- Fry for 2–3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
