Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Optional: ground cinnamon, chocolate sauce, fruit preserves, fresh berries
Instructions
- Pour enough vegetable oil into a deep pot or fryer to reach about 2 inches deep and heat to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently until just combined — avoid over mixing.
- Using a spoon or small scoop, carefully drop portions of the batter into the hot oil to form donut-like shapes.
- Fry in batches for about 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp.
- Transfer to paper towels or a wire rack to drain excess oil.
- While still warm, dust generously with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar and serve with your favorite dips like chocolate sauce or fruit preserves.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the batter to ensure proper frying.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
