Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Using a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out circles from the dough. Gather scraps, re-roll, and cut as needed.
In a deep pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by placing a small piece of dough in it; if it sizzles and turns golden, the oil is ready.
Carefully add a few dough circles to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried cookies from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Once slightly cooled, dust the fried cookies generously with powdered sugar.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your Fried Bread Cookies!
