Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the milk and vanilla extract.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the correct temperature.
Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough into the hot oil, careful not to overcrowd the pot.
Fry the dough balls for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the dough balls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
While still warm, sprinkle the fried dough balls with powdered sugar.
Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your delicious fried dough balls!
