What You’ll Need
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Step 1: Mixing the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 2: Adding the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well blended. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until you have a smooth batter. Make sure there are no lumps remaining.
Step 3: Resting the Batter
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rest for about 30 minutes. This resting time allows the gluten to relax and ensures a light and fluffy texture for your fritters.
Step 4: Frying the Fritters
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or heavy-bottomed pan. The oil should be about 2-3 inches deep. Once the oil reaches 350°F (175°C), it’s ready for frying.
Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, carefully drop small portions of batter into the hot oil. Fry the fritters until they turn golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Step 5: Draining and Dusting
Once the fritters are cooked, remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon. Place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Now, it’s time to add the finishing touch! Dust the fritters generously with powdered sugar. This will not only enhance their appearance but also add a touch of sweetness.
