Preparation

Step 1

First combine dry ingredients, which includes flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

Do not add the confectioner sugar. It is used at the end as a topping.

Then combine wet ingredients. Combine wet to dry but don’t over mix.

In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 340 degrees. Take a tablespoon and scoop out some of the mixture and gently drop in the hot oil. Fry for 4-5 minutes until golden brown.

Drain on paper towel then sprinkle confectioner sugar.
