Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Oil for deep-fat frying
- Powdered sugar for serving
Instructions
- Heat oil to 375°F in a deep-fat fryer or larger heavy-bottomed skillet.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs. Add milk, water, and vanilla until well blended. Add the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; whisk until smooth.
- Cover the bottom of a funnel spout with your finger and carefully ladle ½-cup batter into the funnel. Hold the funnel several inches above the oil and release your finger, moving the funnel in a spiral motion until all of the batter has flowed out of the funnel. Scrape with a rubber spatula if necessary.
- Fry 3-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown, using tongs to flip once. Drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar; serve warm.
- Repeat step 3 and 4 with remaining batter.
Notes
- Always use a thermometer for your oil. If it's too hot they will burn. Too low and soak up oil rather than fry.
